So you have -13, then a number that's somewhere to the right of -13. imagine a number line: the negative values are on the left side of the zero, the positive values are on the right. if you're moving to the RIGHT of -13, that means that the value will be greater than -13, or in other words, -13 will be less than the new value because you moved right.
to find the number 28 units to the right of -13, you simply need to add these two numbers: -13 + 28. you add them because you're moving 28 units in the POSITIVE direction, aka you're going UP, so you want to add. -13 + 28 = 15.
now read the statements your question gave you. C and D are just straight-up false--a positive number is never less than a negative number. those are out immediately. now, the numbers you're working with are -13 and 15, so you can immediately ignore B as an answer choice, but still: A is correct because it shows the correct inequality. -13 is less than the number 28 units to the right of it, that number being positive 15.
Well pick an answer and press submit
22 because you take the smallest and largest number and subtract them so you do 81-59=22
