Use absolute value to express the distance between -13 and 171-13 - 171 = -30|-13 - 171 = 30|-13 - 171 = -4O 1-13 - 17| = 4 Just know this is 7th grade math :)

The function absolute value of a function always "gives us" positive values.

The distance between -13 and 17 using absolute value is as follows:

| 17 - (-13) | =

| 17 + 13 | =

| 30 |

The distance is, therefore, 30.
