Answer:
Alright, I'm picking -16 and -10 for this question
Method A: The number of units between these two points are 6 units
Method B: |-16 - -10| which is technically 16-10 in the instance of absolute value, is equal to |6|.
Bonus: When you're dealing with absolute value, it doesn't matter if you use the greater or lesser number because the absolute value of |-16 - -10| (or |-16 + 10|) is |6|.
|6| was supposed to be a negative negative number so even if you were to do |-10 - -16| you will still end up with the same value of 6.
|-16 - - 10| = |6| and |-10 - -16| = |6|
Hope this helps.
