Draw a picture (even if it is not to scale).
Ciara walks from her house to a bus stop that is 320 yards away.
If Ciara is 14 yards from her house, how far is she from the bus stop? (320 - 14) = 306 yards
If Ciara is 178.2 yards from her house, how far is she from the bus stop? (320 - 178.2) = 141.8 yards
Let the variable x represent Ciara's varying distance from her house (in yards). As Ciara walks from her house to the bus stop, the value of x varies from 0 yards to 320 yards
[Note: the last question uses x for "how far from her house," not like the other questions that asked, "How far is she from the bus stop?"
