JMPWFZPVEFSHBNP
the equation is y = x + 1
x represents the original message and y represents the decoded message, where A=1, B=2, C=3, D=4, E=5, F=6, . . . . . Z=26
Answer by Shana-D77(132)   (Show Source):
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.
So, each letter your teacher gives you is "y":
y = x + 1
B = A + 1 (for example)
2 = 1 + 1
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...
