Explain why the absolute value of a number will never be negative

The absolute value of a number will never be negative because absolute value is the distance from zero, so it will always be positive. For example, you can't be -6 away from 0, you are 6 away from 0.

The absolute value basically means the distant from zero. Distant is never negative, you don't say 'Bob walked negative 2 miles from his house'. For example: The absolute value of -5 is 5 because if you count the intervals from zero to -5, there are 5 spaces.

Answer:

B - 12,111

C - 11,589

Step-by-step explanation:

Here are the options

A - 10, 999

B - 12,111

C - 11,589

In order to round off to the nearest thousand, look at the hundred figure, if the number is greater or equal to 5, add 1 to the thousand figure. If this is not the case, add zero. Replace all the figures before the thousand figure with zero. i.e. the hundred ten, unit

Rounding off 10,999 to the nearest thousand is 11,000

the hundred figure is greater than 5, so one is added to the thousand figure. The

Rounding off 12,111 to the nearest thousand is 12,000

the hundred figure is less than 5, so zero is added to the thousand figure.

Rounding off 11,589 to the nearest thousand is 12,000

the hundred figure is equal to 5, so one is added to the thousand figure.

These tables have infinitely many values, but the simplest ones would be:
a) x|y
3|5
6|10
9|15

b) x|y
2|1
4|2
6|3

Your graph for c would look like the attached picture

93 is the sum of a number g and 58

Wewaii [24]

Assuming you are hoping to obtain the value of "g", to solve worded algebra problems like these, it is easier to translate the world problem into a mathematical equation first.

In this case, "93 is the sum of a number g and 58" can be translated to:

93 = g + 58

To find the value of g, it is necessary to isolate g first. To do this, we subtract both sides of the equation by 58:

93 - 58 = g + 58 - 58
93 - 58 = g

Simplifying:
g = 35
