HELP PLZZZZ DOING

Which of the following correctly uses absolute value to show the distance between −80 and 15?

|−80 − 15| = |−95| = −95 units
|−80 + 15| = |−65| = 65 units
|−80 − 15| = |−95| = 95 units
|−80 + 15| = |−65| = −65 units

Answer 1

Hi,
The answer would be unit C. The distance between -80 & 0 is 80. The distance from 0 to 15 is 15. So 80+15=95. Hope this helps.
