10) Express the distance between the given numbers using absolute value. Then find the distance by evaluating the absolute value expression.
-10 and 8

Answer 1

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

9

noting that | a | = | - a | = a

The distance between the 2 numbers is

| 14 - 2 | = | 12 | = 12

OR

|2 - 14 | = | - 12 | = 12

--------------------------------------------------------------------

10

The distance between the 2 numbers is

| - 10 - 8 | = | - 18 | = 18

OR

| 8 - (- 10) | = | 8 + 10 | = | 18 | = 18
