How would you go about solving this one ? See question below.

If J, S, and V are points on the number line, what is the distance between S and V?

(1) The distance between J and S is 20.
(2) The distance between J and V is 25.

Should be 'E'.

There may be two cases.

Where J-S-V are in line. In this case, SV = 5
Where V-J-S in line. In this case, SV =45
So insuff
