a straight highway is 100 mile long and each mile is marked by a milepost numbered from 0 to 100. a rest area is going to be built along the highway exactly 5 miles away from milepost 63. if m is the milepost number of the rest area which of the following equations represents the possible locations for the rest area? A |63-m|=5 B |m-5|=63 C |m+5|=63 D |63+m|=5

the answer is A

m is 5 miles away from mile post 63,so it's either
m=63+5 or m=63-5
63-m+5=0 or 63-m-5=0
63-m=-5 or 63-m=5

|63-m|=5

The option (A) |63-m|=5 is correct if the highway is 100 mile long and each mile is marked by a milepost numbered from 0 to 100.

What is distance?

Distance is a numerical representation of the distance between two items or locations. Distance refers to a physical length or an approximation based on other physics or common usage considerations.

We have:

A straight highway is 100 mile long and each mile is marked by a milepost numbered from 0 to 100.

As it is given, the highway exactly 5 miles away from milepost 63.


Mathematically:

m = 63 + 5 or m = 63 - 5

63 - m = -5 or 63 - m = 5

We can write above equations as:

|63-m|=5

Thus, the option (A) |63-m|=5 is correct if the highway is 100 mile long and each mile is marked by a milepost numbered from 0 to 100.
