It is excellent that you understand distance is an absolute value. However, this lesson is not about length--the space between two points. This lesson is about change in location. When adding and subtracting integers, you are moving along a number line. One of the examples is about football. It asks about the change in yards, not the distance traveled.

Extra Example III: "what is the fish's change in depth?" Is this not a matter of DISTANCE (thus, Absolute value)? So the final answer should written as a positive integer, eh? The fish cannot travel a negative distance.
