25. TO FIND THE DISTANCE BETWEEN ANY TWO
NUMBERS ON THE SAME SIDE OF ZERO YOU NEED
TO SUBTRACT THE TWO NUMBERS ABSOLUTE
VALUE.
EXAMPLES: DISTANCE BETWEEN -5 AND -12 IS 7
DISTANCE BETWEEN 20 AND 38 IS 18
TO FIND THE DISTANCE BETWEEN ANY TWO
NUMBERS ON OPPOSITE SIDES OF ZERO YOU NEED
TO ADD THE TWO NUMBERS ABSOLUTE VALUE.
EXAMPLES: DISTANCE BETWEEN -12 AND 4 IS 16
DISTANCE BETWEEN -21 AND -4 IS 25
