Answer 2

Use absolute value to express the distance between −10 and 16 on the number line.

|−10 − 16| = −6
|−10 − 16| = 6
|−10 − 16| = −26
|−10 − 16| = 26

Answer 4

A
|-10|=10
|16|=16

Answer 5

the requested distance, is given by the subsequent general formula:
\[\Large \begin{gathered}
d = \left| {{x_2} - {x_1}} \right| \hfill \\
{x_2} = - 10 \hfill \\
{x_1} = 16 \hfill \\
\end{gathered} \]

Answer 7

what is -10-16=...?

Answer 8

26

Answer 9

it is -26, now, by definition of absolute value, we have:
\[\Large \left| { - 26} \right| = 26\]
