To find the distance between any numbers on the number line, subtract the smaller number from the bigger number.

73 - (-54) = x
Since subtracting negative numbers is the same as adding positive numbers ('two dashes (-) makes a plus sign' might be easier to remember) we can write:
73 + 54 = x
Solve
73 + 54 = 127

The answer is D

Hopefully this helps! If you have anymore questions or don't understand, feel free to DM me!! :)

The answer is d because when you go from positive to negative you add the positive number to get to zero and than add the number you are getting to make sense?
