Kathleen Cannon · Answer 1

-7 most definitely.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok for this you will use absolute value. Absolute value of - 7 is 7, and absolute value of 3 is 3. After taking the absolute value, compare the distance by subtracting every value by 1. Whichever value has the largest leftover will be further. This can also be done on number line by plotting it evenly and checking which distance is farther apart.

Tiffany Chapman · Answer 2

-7

Step-by-step explanation:

If you were to draw a number line and you drew where 1 was, and where 3 and - 7 where, which one would have the larger distance? It would be - 7.
