Final answer:

Since absolute values determine the distance between the number and the value whether the value is positive or negative. As distance is always positive.

Thus, |a| is always nonnegative, even though |a|=-a for negative values of a.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

It is said that |a| is always nonnegative even though even though |a|=-a for negative values of a.

Step 2

This is because by the definition of an absolute value, any real number inside an absolute value symbol || will always be positive.

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

The independent variable is m, and the dependent variable is h.

This is because you can plug in any value for m, making m NOT have to depend on any other value to become m.

With h, it needs the result of m and its other values to become the result of h. H relies/depends on the values in the equation to become a value.

Can someone help me find the Complete the missing value in the solution to the equation.
ExtremeBDS [4]
You are shown an ordered pair with an x-coordinate of -5, so replace x with -5 and solve for y.

-3x + 7y = 5x + 2y

-3(-5) + 7y = 5(-5) + 2y

15 + 7y = -25 + 2y

5y = -40

y = -8
