Answer:
[tex]Distance = 3[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
-12 and -15
Required
Solve the difference
The question you posted included the solution. However, the solution is incorrect;
The absolute difference is represented as:
[tex]Difference = \vert a - b \vert[/tex]
In this case:
[tex]a = -12[/tex]
[tex]b = -15[/tex]
So, the distance is calculated as:
[tex]Distance = |-12 - (-15)|[/tex]
Open bracket
[tex]Distance = |-12 +15|[/tex]
[tex]Distance = |3|[/tex]
[tex]Distance = 3[/tex]
