The distance between 8 and -5 on the number line is 13,|8-(-5)|=13.

Absolute value is defined as the magnitude or size of a number, no negatives allowed.

|8-(-5)| is equal to the distance between 8 and -5

In order to calculate the distance between, I would first calculate the absolute value of |8-(-5)|.

Therefore we are looking for two numbers whose distance between them is 13 units.

If we think of the number line, there are 8 units between 8 and 0, and 5 units between 0 and 5. 8+5=13,

therefore the distance between -8 and 5 is 13.

|8-(-5)|=13
