Question

Paloma plotted two different integers with the same absolute value on a number line. The distance between the two numbers must be

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between the two numbers must be twice the distance between either number and zero.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Two different numbers with the same absolute value must be on the opposite sides of zero on the number line. This is because one must be negative and the other positive.

For example, one can be –a and the other a

I-aI = a

IaI = a

The distance from –a to zero = a

The distance from a to zero = a

The distance from –a to a = 2a
