We can set up the following equation to determine x, the distance between Amy's house and the grocery store:
x + 1.5 = 0.5
Subtract 1.5 from both sides:
x = -1
This means that the distance between Amy's house and the grocery store is -1 mile, which doesn't make sense in this context.
Therefore, there is no valid solution for x in this scenario.
Kamron's house is 0.5
mile from the grocery store. If Kamron's house is 1.5
miles closer to the grocery store than Amy's house is, which of the following can be used to determine x
, the distance between Amy's house and the grocery store in miles?
