The distance between 100 and me is 57 what numbers can I be

Question

DONT understand the question about what numbers it could be

Answer 1

Let x = "me"

 

The distance between 100 and "me" = l 100 - x l

 

So, l 100 - x l = 57

 

Therefore, 100 - x = 57 or 100 - x = -57

 

                       x = 43 or x = 157

Answer 2

To find the difference between two positive numbers, we take the difference between the numbers.

 

100 - 57 = 43

 

 

The distance is 43.
