Answer 1

Please help!

Answer 2

easy peazy. If you start from -3428 then how do you think you'd get to 0? Go ahead and give it a try.

Answer 3

You still there?

Answer 4

Yep. I'm working on it!

Answer 5

Alright take your time.

Answer 6

If you are feeling overwhelmed by that number then try a number like -2. How would you get from -2 to 0?

Answer 7

I don't have all day.

Answer 8

meh, I have to leave but I'll just explain it for you.

To get to 0 from -3428 all you have to do is add the same number to itself. So like if I had -2 and I added 2 to it I'd get 0.

So If I say

-3428 + 3428 = 0

and 0 + 286 = 286

then 3428 + 286 = the distance.

I think you probably have basic math skills so I'll let you add the two numbers together.
