<h3>Answer: Choice A.  |w - q|</h3>

Let's say for example that w = 10 and q = 7. This means the distance between these values is w-q = 10-7 = 3. This is the distance between w and q.

Now let's make q larger. If w = 12 and q = 20, then w-q = 12-20 = -8 assuming we subtract in the same order. We use absolute value bars to ensure the result is positive. So instead we say

|w - q| = |12 - 20| = | -8 | = 8

Distance is never negative.

Write a ratio for the following word phrase. Write fractions in lowest terms.42 in. to 6 ft
ollegr [7]
42 feet to 6 feet can be written as both ratio and a fraction:

42:6
42/6

If we look at the fraction, we can clearly see that we can simplify it:

42/6 = 7/1 = 7

So we can write the ratio in its lowest terms as 7:1.

Determine the value of the variable. 5 + 17 = J - 14
Nataly_w [17]
You would add 5 and 17 and that would equal 22
Now it would be 22=J-14
Then add 14 on both sides so it cancels out 22 plus 14 is 36
So J would equal 36
