Answer:

7

Explanation:

To find the distance between two numbers, simply subtract.

4 - (-3) = Answer.

Note that when there are two negative signs directly next to each other, it becomes a positive sign. Add:

4 - (-3) = 4 + 3 = 7

7 is your distance.

The other way to solve is to flip the numbers:

-3 - 4 = -7

However, note that distance cannot be a negative, so you will disregard the sign.

7 is still your distance.
