So, the absolute value of a negative number and the same number in positive terms is the same.
<span>Imagine a number line with zero in the middle, and numbers stretching out negative on one side and positive on the other. Measure out "3" on your number line in each direction. So, -3 and 3.

The absolute value of each of those — its distance from zero — is the same.
Does that make sense?
Answer: b
Step-by-step explanation: divide and round
Given: 3^(x − 4) = 6
To find: Solution to the given expression using change of base formula
Answer: The given expression is 3^(x − 4) = 6 Taking log on both sides, we get - log(3^(x − 4)) = log6
(x - 4) log3 = log6
x - 4 = log6/ log3
x - 4 = (∵ change of base formula)
x - 4 = 1.631
x = 5.631
Thus x = 5.631 is the answer in the nearest thousandth.
