The general formula for the distance between two numbers x and y on the number line is |x-y|. Plugging 42 and 95 in for x and y, we get |42-95|=|-53|=53. Notice that it doesn't matter which order we plug the numbers in: if we plugged 95 in for x and 42 for y, we'd get |95-42|=|53|=53. So either way we do it, the distance is 53.

If you have a number x, then twice that number is 2*x and so the expression means 42 - 2*x
42 is 75 percent of what number?
To find the number that 42 is 75% of, you can set up a proportion. Let x represent the unknown number. The proportion would be: 42 = 0.75x. To solve for x, divide both sides by 0.75, giving you x = 42 / 0.75 = 56. Therefore, 42 is 75% of 56.
If the sum of a number and another number which is 8 more than the number is 42 what equation could be used to find the numbers use n as the variable?
There are different ways to write the answer: n+n+8 = 42 or 2n + 8 = 42
