Two friends are playing with water balloons. They each start at the bucket of balloons and walk in opposite directions before tossing their balloons at each other. Joy walked 12 steps forward, and Shaunte walked 8 steps backwards. Which expression correctly represents the distance between the friends?

12 + 8 = 20 steps
12 + |−8| = 20 steps
|−12| + 8 = 20 steps
|−12| + |−8| = 20 steps
