let x be that number,
its 2 1/8 away from A (and A is at 2)
so, x-A = 2 1/8 or A-x = 2 1/8
can you get 2 possible values of x from here first ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
x-2=17/8 right?
hartnn (hartnn):
similarly, x is 1 7/8 away from B (and B is at 6)
so
x-B = 1 7/8 or B-x = 1 7/8
find 2 possible values of x from here too,
and your answer will be the value of x common to both ....
hartnn (hartnn):
A=2
x-2 = 2 1/8
B=6
6-x = 1 7/8
see whether u get same x for these 2

I am sorry, I am a bit confused :(
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
where is A sitting on number line ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
on 2
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
u want to find a number thats \(2\frac{1}{8}\) away from A, right ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes

simply add \(2\frac{1}{8}\) to 2
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
\(2 + 2\frac{1}{2}\)
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
simplify
OpenStudy (anonymous):
is 2,875 the correct answer?
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
nope , how did u get it ?

is it \[2 + 2 \frac{ 1 }{ 2 } or 2 + 2 \frac{ 1 }{8 } ?\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
because in the question it is 2 1/8
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
oops ! you're right
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
4.125 is correct !!! sorry i was chasing after 2 1/2 uh
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no worries!! Thank you! Can you help me continue :(

ha sure, ask..
OpenStudy (anonymous):
It's the same problem just continuing it, for B I got the same answer, but negative
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I am not sure if its right
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
for B, u need to subtract
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes 1 7/8 -6

B is at 6, and u want a number that 1 7/8 away from it
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
u need to do 6 - 1 7/8
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I got -4,125
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
yea, take the positive value oly
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
u should get both values same.
