Question

Joey walked east for 1523 meters from home. Then, he walked west for 2134 meters. How far was Joey from home

Answer 1

To find the distance from home, we need to subtract the distance Joey walked west from the distance Joey walked east.

Joey walked east for 1523 meters from home.
Joey walked west for 2134 meters.
Distance from home = Distance walked east - Distance walked west
Distance from home = 1523 - 2134
Distance from home = -611 meters

Joey was 611 meters from home.
