Question

The number line shows the distance in meters of two birds, A and B, from a worm located at point X:

A horizontal number line extends from negative 3 to positive 3. The point labeled as A is at negative 2.5, the point 0 is labeled as X, and the point labeled B is at 2.5.

Write an expression using subtraction to find the distance between the two birds. (5 points)

Answer 1

I'm not good with math but, @AngeI might be able to help

Answer 2

Hrm, I am not good at putting it in expressions
But in this case simply subtracting 2.5-(-2.5) would get you your distance.
I'm not sure if that is the expression you needed though, but I hope it helps c:

Answer 3

thank you

Answer 4

It looks good to me

Distance is just subtracting the second plotted point by the first

Or you could count and still get the same answer
