it would be 21
the only difference is that one is a negative and the other is a positive. The absolute value is the distance the number is from 0 on the number line.
hope i helped :)
Start at -8 move to the left 8 more times,. You get -16.
When you create the number line, put 0 in the middle. Basically you put all the numbers you got from least to greatest on the number.
Since -3/2 is less than 0, it will go to the left of 0.
Since 3/2 and 5/2 are greater than 0, it will go to the right of 0.
Remember to use sub points of 1.
Best of Luck!
