Felicia lives 3/5 of a mile from school and 4/10 of a mile from the football field. How much closer does she live to the field than to school?

1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

because you are subtracting

x = 2 or x = 0 (nothing this is the correct answer)!

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x over the integers:

2 - abs(5 x - 5)/5 = 1

Hint: | Isolate terms with x to the left hand side.

Subtract 2 from both sides:

-1/5 abs(5 x - 5) = -1

Hint: | Multiply both sides by a constant to simplify the equation.

Multiply both sides by -5:

abs(5 x - 5) = 5

Hint: | Eliminate the absolute value.

Split the equation into two possible cases:

5 x - 5 = 5 or 5 x - 5 = -5

Hint: | Look at the first equation: Isolate terms with x to the left hand side.

Add 10 to both sides:

5 x = 10 or 5 x - 5 = -5

Hint: | Look at the first equation: Solve for x.

Divide both sides by 5:

x = 2 or 5 x - 5 = -5

Hint: | Look at the second equation: Solve for x.

Divide both sides by 5:

x = 2 or x = 0
