Express the distance between the given numbers using absolute value. Then find the distance by evaluating the absolute value expression.

Answer:
1). |(-3) - 8|
2). 11 units
Step-by-step explanation:
If the given numbers are 'x' and 'y', distance between these numbers will be represented by the absolute value expression,
Distance = |x - y|
Given numbers are (-3) and 8.
Therefore, expression for the distance between these points will be,
Distance = |(-3) - 8|
Distance between these points will be = 11 units
