Answer 4

To determine the distance between 6.5 and -7.2 on a number line, we can find the absolute value of the difference of the two numbers.

|-7.2 - 6.5| = |-13.7| = 13.7

The distance between 6.5 and -7.2 on a number line is 13.7.

Answer 5

Subtracting -6 from -(-8) is equivalent to adding 6 to -8.

-(-8) + 6 = 8 + 6 = 14

Therefore, -6 - (-8) equals 14.

Answer 6

Subtracting 17 from -(-18) is equivalent to adding 17 to -18.

-(-18) + 17 = 18 + 17 = 35

Therefore, 17 - (-18) equals 35.
