The question is too imprecise for a simple answer.
If you are given only the two points in Euclidean space you must measure the distance. If they are two points on a map, then the true (real-life) distance is the measured distance times the map's scale.
If the two points, A and B, are in n-dimensional coordinate space then the Euclidean distance is given by the n-dimensional Pythagoras' equation:
Dist(A, B) = sqrt[(Ax - Bx)^2 + (Ay - By)^2 + ... ] where Ax is the x coordinate of A, and so on.
But there are also other metrics possible. One such is the Manhattan distance (also called the taxicab distance). Based on Manhattan's rectangular grid of avenues and streets, the distance between two points is the difference in their avenue numbers added to the difference in their street numbers. This metric can easily be extended to 3 or more dimensions.

The answer is the x coordinate of the point.
How do you find the distance between the origin of a cartesian coordinate system and a point?
To find the distance between the origin and the point (x,y) use Pythagoras on the right angled triangle which has the points (0, 0), (x, 0), (x, y) - the distance is the hypotenuse of the triangle and so has length: distance = √(x2 + y2) This can be extended to find the distance between any two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2): distance = √((x2 - x1)2 + (y2 - y1)2) (for the original question (x1, y1) is the origin (0, 0) and the first formula results.)

How can you find the center between cities that you travel from?
There is a category on this website for "Halfway Points." You can also find the distance between two of your cities and divide it in two. The distance between Philadelphia and Chicago is 760 miles. The halfway point is 380 miles.
