Given:
-10, -9, -8, -7, -6, -5, -4, -3,- 2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
Determine the distance between -7 and 7
Explanation:
In order to determine the distance from 7 to 7, we simply need to count the number of units from the start of 7 up until the end of the other 7, hence in such case we have 14 units. This can also be proven by subtracting -7 to 7.
Solution:
= ( 7 - (-7)
= 7 + 7
= 14 units
Final answer:
14 units.
