Question 784849: Write an absolute value equation that calculates the distance between integers A and B on a number line.
I tried
[A] + [B] but that doesn't work if there is a negative and a positive number
[A+B] doesn't work. The question is not from my book so I can't find an answer.
This is 7th grade pre-algebra
