Please write this as an equation: The difference of Goran's height and 24 is 64.

Question

I don't know how to write this as an equation.

Answer 1

|G-24| =64

or

|24-G|= 64

"difference" usually means the positive difference, such as the distance between two cities is a positive number of miles

|G-24| is the absolute value of G-24 which means just change the sign to +, if the "difference" is -

But as to height, Goran has to have positive height so just write the equation as G-24 = 64

and G= 64+24 = 88

G= 88 is the most simple equation capturing the given information

if this is in inches, then Goran is 88/12 feet tall= 7 feet 4 inches. Goran plays basketball? NBA?

or if this is in centimeters, then Goran is 88/2.54 = 34.64 inches =2.9 feet=2 feet 10 1/2 inches. That is possible but less likely

Maybe Goran is one of those jockeys for horse racing? They need the lightest riders possible to win.

The Kentucky Derby? those jockeys just don't the celebrity status they deserve.
