Answer: Melinda lives 14 blocks from his grandparents.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Distance at which Bart lives from his grandparents = 6 blocks

Distance at which Melinda lives from his grandparents as Bart does = 8 blocks

As we have given that Melinda lives 8 blocks farther than the Bart does from the grandparents ,

So, we use the addition operation to calculate the farther distance.

Total distance at which Melinda live from her grandparents is given by


8+6=14\ blocks

Hence, Melinda lives 14 blocks from his grandparents.
