Algebra.Com's Answer #418530 by Shana-D77(132)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Yout teacher gave you a code! \"y = x + 1\" means that your teacher added 1 to each letter. For example, if the secret letter was \"A\", which is 1 in the alphabet, then \"x + 1\" would equal 2, or \"B\". She woud give you \"B\" and you would subtract 1 to find A. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "So, each letter your teacher gives you is \"y\": \n" ); document.write( "y = x + 1 \n" ); document.write( "B = A + 1 (for example) \n" ); document.write( "2 = 1 + 1 \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "In your code, each letter that your teacher gave you is one ahead of what it should be (x + 1). So, J = I, M = L, etc... \n" ); document.write( " |
