Answer 2

I'll medal and fan.......

Answer 3

Ordered on the number line the distance from y to x is 8 - 2 = ?

Answer 4

6

Answer 5

If you take the answer to this to prolong the number line from x further the same distance you will find what you are looking for.

Answer 6

So...?

Answer 7

The order is Y->X->Z

Answer 8

From Y to X is 6. And from X to Z the same.

Answer 9

Sorry, math isn't my subject >.<

Answer 10

To get from Y to X you take 2 as starting point for Y adds what you've calculated as distance. To get from X to Z you take X (I believe it was 8) and add the same (you texted).

Answer 11

To get from 2 to 8 is 8 - 2 = 6. As you correctly pointed out.

Answer 12

And now from how much you would need subtract 6 (same distance) to get 8?

Answer 13

...14? I'm probably wrong though...

Answer 14

Correct. You've sold it.

Answer 15

I mean solved

Answer 16

Once again:
2 -> 8 -> 14
6 6

Answer 17

Really?? Thank you @AlexanderBrockhaus

Answer 18

Btw. you haven't had a typo there? I would expect a teacher to write it rather as
X -> Y -> Z to prevent confusion. Except he / she wants also to teach you to really read and undestand it. Anyway, you've got it.
