(01.02 MC)Which of the following uses absolute value correctly to show the distance between −20 and 14?

|−20 − 14| = |−34| = 34 units
|−20 − 14| = |−34| = −34 units
|−20 + 14| = |−6| = 6 units
|−20 + 14| = |−6| = −6 units

the first description because the absolute value of -20 is 20 and of 14 is 14 then you would add the two.
