Question

Use absolute value to express the distance between −10 and 16 on the number line.

|−10 − 16| = −6
|−10 − 16| = 6
|−10 − 16| = −26
|−10 − 16| = 26

Answer 1

It is 26. First, solve inside of the absolute value. -10-16 is -26. Since you are taking the absolute value, you are going to make -26 positive.
