Answer:

Yes! |-15| = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Many people think of absolute value (the two bars symbol around the -15) as ALWAYS POSITIVE.

You can also think of absolute value as a distance. If you move 15 units, it doesn't matter in what direction you go. 15 units travelled is 15 units.

Lastly, absolute value has a V-shaped graph, that is because its always positive.

Yes, the lines on either side of the number -15 mean absolute value. Meaning that whatever number inside of the lines is positive.

Fifteen years later, a man will be two times as old as he was 15 years ago. How old is he now?
Inga [223]

Answer:

Let the present age of the man be x years.

Age of the man 15 years ago =(x−15) years and

Age of the man 15 years later =(x+15) years

According to the given condition, we have

(x+15)=2(x−15)

⇒x+15=2x−30

⇒x−2x=−30−15

⇒−x=−45 or x=45 years

Hence, the present age of the man is 45 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hope it helps you..

Your welcome in advance..
