Question

1-5. Evaluate each absolute value expression. Can you help me with this and if you can explain it to me thanks you

Answer 1

Well when it comes to absolute value remember that whatever number is inside the two straight lines will always come out as a positive.

a) [54] would still be 54

b)-[-7 3/5] so first you get the absolute value which comes out to 7 3/5 but because there is a negative sign out side of the two parallel lines, the answer would be -7 3/5

c)[3]-[-1] the absolute value of 3 is 3 and the absolute value of -1 is 1. So the expression would be 3-1 which comes out to 2

d)[2.2-5.13] 2.2-5.13 would equal -2.93 but since it is in the absolute value, the answer would come out as 2.93

Hope this helps!
