To find the difference, you take both the numbers and FIRST find the absolute value. Then you find the sum of the numbers and that will be your answer. so the absolute value will look like this: I 6 -4 1/4 I it will be 6+4 1/4 which is finding the sum. Your answer will be a distance of 10.25 units.
