Question

Joey was
meters from home.

Answer 1

Joey walked a total distance of 1523 meters east and then walked back for 2134 meters west.

To find out how far Joey was from home, we need to subtract the westward distance from the eastward distance.

1523 meters - 2134 meters = -611 meters

Since Joey walked back towards his home, he was 611 meters from home.

Therefore, Joey was 611 meters from home.
