Answer:

16. A

17. B

Explanation:

The absolute value is the distance of any real number to 0 on the number line. Therefore the distance from -6 to 0 would be |-6|.

Steve's distance from the bottom of the hole to the ground is |-15| feet while Kelsey is above ground a positive 10 feet or |10|. The expression is then

|-15| > |10|.
