The absolute value 
returns the "positive version" of a number.
In other words, if the number is positive, it remains positive; if the number is negative, it changes sign.
So, if we want 
, we want the "positive version" of x to be 9.
This can happen in two ways: if x is already 9, then its absolute value is still nine. If instead x=-9, its positive value will be 9 again.
In formula, we have
because
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
188.5
The slope of line D is also -4 because the lines are perpendicular.
Answer:
y = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
The mid segment HJ is half of the third side GK , that is
HJ = 
GK , substitute values
2y = (y + 6) ← multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction
4y = y + 6 ( subtract y from both sides )
3y = 6 ( divide both sides by 3 )
y = 2
Answer: 10%
Step-by-step explanation:
The difference between his estimated and actual distance is 15 - 13.5 = 1.5
The percentage of error is the difference divided by the actual value.
1.5÷15 = 0.10
Converted to a percentage, it is 10%
