b. \(|-10 - 16| = 6\)

c. \(|-10 - 16| = -26\)

d. \(|-10 - 16| = 26\)

Answer (3)

Your answer is D because absolute value is always positive and -10-16 is -26. Then make is positive since it is the distance from zero gives you 26.

The distance between -10 and 16 is found by calculating ∣ − 10 − 16∣ , which equals 26. Therefore, the correct choice is d. ∣ − 10 − 16∣ = 26 . Absolute value is used to express distances regardless of direction, ensuring the outcome is a positive number.
