Question

Rita goes 20 km towards east from a point a to b from b she moves 30 km towards west along the same road if the distance towards east is represented by a positive integer then how will you represent the distance travelled towards west by which integer will represent her final position from a

Answer 1

Answer:

She must travel 10km from the point A Towards West finaly.... And it is represented by the integer - 10

Answer 2

Given:

Rita goes 20 km towards east from a point A to B from B she moves 30 km towards west along the same road if the distance towards east is represented by A positive integer

To find:

how will you represent the distance travelled towards west by which integer will represent her final position from A$.$

STEP BY STEP EXPLANATION:

Since the distance towards east is represented by a positive integer, the distance travelled towards west will be represented by a negative integer.

Distance travelled in east direction = 20 km

Distance travelled in west direction = -30 km

Distance travelled from A = 20 + (-30) = -10 km

∴ Therefore, we will represent the distance travelled by Rita from point A by a negative integer -10 km,

(Rita is now in west direction)

Hence verified !
