The absolute value is basically the distance from zero, and distance is ALWAYS positive. After you removed your negatives, you need to just compare the values. For example. The smallest absolute value between -27 and 19 is 19. Hope this helped!
Answer:
k = 25
Step-by-step explanation:
(2x - sqrt(k) )^2 Expand this as a binomial
4x^2 - 4x*sqrt(k) + k The middle term must be -20x Solve for k so it is
-4xsqrt(k) = - 20x Divide by -4x
sqrt(k) = -20x/-4x Do the division
sqrt(k) = 5 Square both sides
k = 25
N-10+9n-3
n+9n=10n
10-3=7
so the answer is....
-13+10n
