Question

Which of the following correctly uses absolute value to show the distance between -70 and 13?

1)
|-70 - 13| = |-83| = -83 units

2)
|-70 - 13| = |-83| = 83 units

3)
|-70 + 13| = |-57| = 57 units

4)
|-70 + 13| = |-57| = -57 units

Answer 1

the answer is 4 i think? because since -70 is negative and you're adding 13 but you're actually subtracting so ig 4 (sorry if my reasoning doesn't make sense)
