Which of the following expressions represents the distances between -4 and 5 on the number line? a.|-4+5| b.|4-5| c.|-)| d.|-4-5|

D is the  answer

Step-by-step explanation:

|-4-5|=|-9|=9

the distance between -4 and  0  is 4 and between 0 and 5 is 5

so the distance will be 4+5=9

the simplified form is

step-by-step explanation:

we want to simplify the expression,

let us change the middle bar to a normal division sign to obtain,

we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction to obtain,

we factor to obtain,

we cancel the common factors to get,

we simplify to get,

the correct answer is b
