This is kind of hard to explain, but I'm going to try. Feel free to comment questions if what I'm going to say doesn't make sense.

Absolute Value
∞ # of spaces away from zero
∞ how far away a number is from zero

1). Draw a number line.
2). Label it from -12 to 0.
3). Count on the number line from -12 to 0 and see how many units to the right you have to go to reach zero. The answer is 12, so that is the absolute value.
 |-12| = 12

The absolute value is 12. I don't know how you would use the number line to your advantage but that's because that's not how they taught me in school.

Which two expressions have the same value?<br> 1. 23-82<br> 2. 23 - (8 x 2)<br> 3. (23 -8) x 2
Elza [17]

Answer:

Any expression doesn't have the same value

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>1. 23-82</h3>

Subtract 82 from 23.

−59

<h3>2. 23 - (8 x 2)</h3>

Simplify each term.

Multiply 8 by 2.

23−1⋅16

Multiply −1 by 16.

23−16

Subtract 16 from 23.

7

<h3>3. (23 -8) x 2</h3>

Subtract 8 from 23.

15⋅2

Multiply 15 by 2.

30 point for this plz help!! And explain how you got you answer
ch4aika [34]

To find the sales price of the DVD, you would multiply the price and sale percent to get the sale price.

You would need to turn 20% into a decimal to multiply it with 9, so you would move the decimal place two times to the left: From 20. to→ .20

In this case: 9 × .20 = 1.8

Then you would subract the sub price by the sales price

9 - 1.8 = 7.2

The sales price of the DVD would be $7.20
