A.) s is to the right of zero
B.) the distance between t and r is the same as the distance between t and –s


C

IS there an easy way to do this problems...

#2. Given that t is the midpoint between -s and r which implies t=0
s will be equal to r (since r and -s are on the extremes ends of 0), so s=r.

So #2 will be sufficient. Am i missing anything.
