Geena is meeting her brother at a cafe on Bradford Rd and Blanco Rd. She is currently on the corner of Lafayette Ave. and Blanco Rd. Her brother tells Geena that the shortest route is straight down Blanco Rd.
Geena disagrees. She thinks the shortest route is down Lafayette Ave., turn onto Smith St., then on Blanco Rd. until she reaches the cafe.
Who is correct? What is the difference in the two routes?

THEY ARE BOTH IN DIFFERENT PLACES??

question 1 is 8, question 2 is 9, question 3 is 24

step-by-step explanation:

now, the numbers they give you at the top are the key. from there, you just have to plug and chug! let's try 1, 2, and 3!

key: a=3, b=5, c=6

1. a+5

remember, a=3, so we plug that in to get 3+5=8

2. 15-c

c=6, so we plug that in to get 15-6=9

3. 4b

b=6, so we plug it in to get 4*6=24

time to try the rest on your own! if you put the answers below in a comment, i'll check them for you!
