Question 1208193
<font color=black size=3>
Answer: <font color=red>Option B</font>



Think of a vertical number line (example: y axis).
Moving up this number line means we're involving positive values.
Moving down means we use negative values.
+10 means "go up 10 feet".
-25 means "go down 25 feet".
Absolute value represents distance from zero on the number line. 
Negative distance doesn't make sense, so the absolute value turns a negative value positive.
|-25| = 25


So,
<font color=red>10 + |-25|</font> = 10 + 25 = 35 feet is the total distance the ball travels.


In other words,
10 feet up + 25 feet down = 35 feet total
