Express each of the following pairs of signed numbers as absolute values and subtract the smaller absolute value from the larger absolute value. a.+23,-14

Given:
$[+23,-14]$ is given as a pair of signed numbers.
Calculation:
$=+23,-14$
The absolute value of +23 is 23.
The absolute value of -14 is 14.
The smaller absolute value is 14 and the larger absolute value 23.
Now, the subtraction of smaller absolute value from the larger absolute value is
$=23-14=9$
Hence,the subtraction of smaller absolute value from the larger absolute value is 9.
