Answer:
Can you please attach a picture of the question so I can help?
Step-by-step explanation:
Since -5 and -5 are the same number, they are on the same y axis so the only distance we need to calculate is between the X coordinates.
When looking for distance, you can not have a negative. what |-3|+|9| is looking for is the distance from 0 on the X axis. since distance can't be negative, (you go 3 miles away from your house in one direction, vs 3 miles in the opposite. both ways is positive, even with opposite directions. same with axis, it doesnt matter which way, only the number.) you need the absolute value of -3 to get the distance from the 0 on the x axis.
short version: distance is positive, and its adding the distances from the x axis to get distance from each other
Answer:
0
Step-by-step explanation:
0 · |-6|
Absolute value means take the non negative number
0* 6
0
Answer:
x = 72
Step-by-step explanation:
2/3x + 6 = 1/2x + 1/4x
2/3x + 6 = 3/4x
3/4 - 2/3 = 1/12
6 = 1/12x
Multiply 6 by 12 to get x
x = 72
