there are two points contained on a regular number line. point a is located at -20 and point b is located at -10. what is the distance from a to b?
-30
-10
5
10
30

Explanation:

Step1: Solve first expression (order of ops)

First calculate multiplication: $5 \times 0 = 0$

Step2: Simplify remaining addition

$5 + 0 + 2 = 7$

Step3: Calculate number line distance

Use absolute value formula: $|B - A| = |-10 - (-20)|$

Step4: Compute the final distance

$|-10 + 20| = |10| = 10$

Answer:

1. 7
2. 10
