Question

Express the distance between the given numbers using absolute value. Then find the distance by evaluating the absolute value expression.

Answer 1

Answer:

1). |(-3) - 8|

2). 11 units

Step-by-step explanation:

If the given numbers are 'x' and 'y', distance between these numbers will be represented by the absolute value expression,

Distance = |x - y|

Given numbers are (-3) and 8.

Therefore, expression for the distance between these points will be,

Distance = |(-3) - 8|

Distance between these points will be = 11 units
