Answer:

[tex]Distance = 3[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

-12 and -15

Required

Solve the difference

The question you posted included the solution. However, the solution is incorrect;

The absolute difference is represented as:

[tex]Difference = \vert a - b \vert[/tex]

In this case:

[tex]a = -12[/tex]

[tex]b = -15[/tex]

So, the distance is calculated as:

[tex]Distance = |-12 - (-15)|[/tex]

Open bracket

[tex]Distance = |-12 +15|[/tex]

[tex]Distance = |3|[/tex]

[tex]Distance = 3[/tex]
