Answer:

|-6| + |4|

Option C

Explantion:

The gym is at the point, x₁ = -6

The office is at the point, x₂ = 4

The distance from the gym to the office = | x₂ - x₁|

The distance from the gym to the office = | 4 - (-6) |

This can also be written as:

The distance from the gym to the office = |-6| + |4|
