Help with geometry? I don’t want the answer, though!?

My midterms are coming up…and I can’t figure out this problem. Can you please show me how to set it up and explain how you had set it up? I don’t want the answer though! Here’s the problem:

If a picnic area is located at the midpoint between Sacramento and Oakland, find the distance to the picnic area from the road sign.

Roseville – 5

Sacramento – 23

Oakland – 110

If the problem requires step by step instructions, or you don’t get what I’m asking, email me at [email protected].

First you’d have to find out how much farther Oakland is from Sacramento by subtracting their two mileages. Then find half of that distance and either add it to Sacramento’s distance or subtract it from Oakland’s. Do both to check your answer.
