A straight highway is 100 miles long, and each mile is marked by a milepost numbered from 0 to 100. A rest area is going to be built along the highway exactly 7 miles away from milepost 58. If 'm' is the milepost number of the rest area, which of the following equations represents the possible locations for the rest area?

A| 58 - m | = 7
B| m + 7 | = 58
C| m - 7 | = 58
D| 58 + m | = 7

Verified Answer :

Answer is |58-m|=7

Because I put in the other answer and it was wrong so I have a picture to prove that the other answer is wrong and this one is right and you have to write 20 words so I'm writing all this

The equation that represents the possible locations for the rest area is | 58 - m | = 7.

Possible location of the area

The possible location of the area is calculated as follows;

Total length = 100 miles

Distance of the rest area = 7 miles

mile post number = m

Equation for possible location of rest area

100 - m = 7

Thus, the equation that represents the possible locations for the rest area is | 58 - m | = 7.
