Answer:

The correct option is 4) 15 - (-18).

Explanation:

Consider the provided numbers -18 and 15.

We need to find the distance between -18 and 15.

To find the distance between the number, subtract the smaller number from the larger number.

Here the smaller number is -18 so subtract it from 15 as shown:


15-(-18)=15+18=33

Hence, the required expression is
15-(-18)

Therefore, the correct option is 4) 15 - (-18).
