Question

Amy set up her tent 8 feet south of the fire pit Leon set up his tent 6 ft to the north of the fire pit how far apart are Leon and Amy's 10th from one another explain how to apply the additive inverse to determine the distance

Answer 1

`\begin{gathered} -6\text{ is the additive inverse of 6} \\ -8\text{ is the additive inverse of }8 \\ dis\tan ce\text{ = -6+(-8)} \\ dis\tan ce\text{ = -6-8} \\ dis\tan ce\text{ = }-14 \\ dis\tan ce\text{ can not be negative, so the distance betw}een\text{ Amy's tent and Leons tent is 14f}eet \end{gathered}`
