Answer 2

Answer:

Distance = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

⇒ Distance = Larger integer - Smaller integer

In this case, the larger integer is -4 and the smaller integer is -14. Keep in mind that if two integers are negative, the integer that is closest to 0 is greater than the other integer.

⇒ Distance = (-4) - (-14)

Simplify the expression on the R.H.S:

⇒ Distance = -4 + 14                                                            [-1 x -1 = 1]

⇒ Distance = 10
