1. Problem Description

We are given a number line with three points labeled A, 5, and B. The distance from A to 5 is +6, and the distance from 5 to B is +
1

0. We need to find the values of A and B.

2. Solution Steps

First, we need to find the value of A. Since the distance from A to 5 is +6, we can write the equation:
A+6=5A + 6 = 5
To find A, we subtract 6 from both sides:
A=56A = 5 - 6
A=1A = -1
Next, we need to find the value of B. Since the distance from 5 to B is +10, we can write the equation:
5+10=B5 + 10 = B
B=15B = 15

3. Final Answer

The value of A is -1 and the value of B is
1

5. A = -1

B = 15
