Which of the following correctly uses absolute value to show the distance between −60 and 13?

Answers :
A.|−60 − 13| = |−73| = 73 units
B.|−60 − 13| = |−73| = −73 units
C.|−60 + 13| = |−47| = 47 units
D.|−60 + 13| = |−47| = −47 units

Answer 1

Answer is be A
The answer of an absolute value is always positive and you can go as head and eliminate B and D. It also can not be C bc the distance from -60 to 0 is 60, and distance from 13 to 0 is 13.
When u 13+60 it =73
