Answer 2

⇒ Given :-

• Jake travelled 50 km towards the east,

• From there, she travelled 80 km towards west.

⇒ To Find :-

• How far is Jake from the starting point?​

⇒ Solution :-

• Distance travelled towards east = 50 km

• Distance travelled towards west = 80 km

• ∴ Distance of Jake from starting point = 50 - 80

                                             = -30 [Distance can't be negative] 

 

                                             = 30
