Required expression is x.

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance between Cody and Chelsea = 270 feet

They are walking toward one another at the same speed.

Let x represent the number of feet Cody has traveled since he started walking toward Chelsea.

Number of feet Chelsea has traveled since he started walking toward Cody = x feet

Total number of feet = x+x = 2x

Remaining distance = 270 - 2x

Since we need to find the number of feet Cody has walked toward Chelsea since they started walking, therefore, the required expression is x.
