  (x/(50)) −(x/(60))=5     [x=dist. between                        Bobby′shome an school]  ⇒((6x−5x)/(300))=5  ⇒x=1500  Distance between Bobby′s  home and school=1500m

$$\:\:\frac{{x}}{\mathrm{50}}\:−\frac{{x}}{\mathrm{60}}=\mathrm{5}\:\:\:\:\:\left[{x}={dist}.\:{between}\right. \\ $$$$\left.\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:{Bobby}'{s}\boldsymbol{{home}}\:\boldsymbol{{an}}\:\boldsymbol{{school}}\right] \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\frac{\mathrm{6}{x}−\mathrm{5}{x}}{\mathrm{300}}=\mathrm{5} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{x}=\mathrm{1500} \\ $$$${Distance}\:{between}\:{Bobby}'{s} \\ $$$${home}\:{and}\:{school}=\mathrm{1500}{m} \\ $$
