Investigating the Definition of Absolute Value

1 answer:

4 0

It's how far a number is from 0.
( ex.) 6 is 6 away from 0 but so is -6; so the absolute value of 6 is 6 and the absolute value of -6 is 6. the symbol "|" is placed on either side to mean absolute value.

(ex.2) |-6| = 6. -|-6|= -6. |6|=6. and -|6|= -6.
if the negative sign is outside of the symbol then the number will always be negative but if there is no negative sign outside of the symbol it will always be positive, even if it looks lile this. |-6| it would still be positive.

Eight year-old Alex is learning to ride a

cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

The age of the horse, in human years, when Alex was born can be determined by simply deducting the Current age of Alex from the Current age of the horse in human years.

Therefore, the age of the horse, in human years, when Alex was born was 42 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Current age of Alex = 8

Current age of the horse in human years = 50

Since the age of the horse is already stated in human years, it implies there is no need to convert the age of the horse again.

Therefore, since Alex is a human who was born 8 years ago, the age of the horse, in human years, when Alex was born can be determined by simply deducting the Current age of Alex from the Current age of the horse in human years as follows:

The age of the horse, in human years, when Alex was born = 50 - 8 = 42

Therefore, the age of the horse, in human years, when Alex was born was 42 years.

This can be presented in a table as follows:

Which algebraic expression represents the phrase below? five times the sum of a number and eleven, divided by three times the su

Umnica [9.8K]

The phrase has two parts:

Five times the sum of a number and eleven, divided by three times the sum of the number and eight

Let the number be x. Five times the sum of a number and eleven means 5 multiplied to the sum of x and 11. In expression this will be written as:

5(x + 11)

Three times the sum of the number and eight means 3 multiplied to the sum of x and 8. In expression this will be written as:

3(x + 8)

So, the overall expression will be:

$\frac{5(x+11)}{3(x+8)}$
