hawnda incorrectly found the distance between -26 and 25 by following these steps: Step 1: |25 – (-26)| Step 2: |25 – 26| Step 3
: |-1| Step 4: The distance between -26 and 25 is 1. In which step, if any, did Shawnda make a mistake? A) Step 1 B) Step 2 C) Step 3 D) Step 4 E) All steps are correct.
Step 2 is not correct. It should be abs(25 - - 26) = abs(25 + 26) = 51
Given that Step 2 is accepted (as - 1) then three is OK and and so is 4. But technically they are incorrect as well. I think you are likely to say that step 2 is the problem.
