Answer: |3-(-8)|
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Paige lives 3 miles east of her school. Diego lives 8 miles west of the school.
From the picture , the number line represents the position of the houses of the two friends such that position of Paige is 3 but position of Diego is (-8) [since east and west are opposite directions]
We know that, Distance between any two points from A to B= B-A
Since distance is a positive quantity, thus
The distance between them = miles=11 miles
1:4 is you answer. 4-3 is 1 and you do the same to 7
Add these eqn and then you have to cancel out (y) after that add x and 2x which is equal to 3x and also add RHS i.e.30 and divide it by 3
