Thank you so much!! So if you were to change the problem around and say |-4 - 10| it would just be like saying -4 - 10?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not really.. because whenever it is inside the absolute value, its always a positive. so it could be 4-10 or -4 plus 10 either way, u get the same answer;)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oops! just kidding! sry actually it could only be 4-10.. sry!
