<em>ANSWER:</em>

Absolute signs are signs that tell the number away from 0. So the absolute number cannot be negative. |x| = x. You don't know if the number was positive or negative. |-x|. |-x| is x since it tells it's x away from 0. -|x| is -x. Since the negative sign isn't in the absolute signs, you keep it as -15.

Hope this helps :D

Answer:

-15

Step-by-step explanation:

The negative is outside of the absolute value signs/lines. The absolute value is how far the number is from 0. So, it doesn't matter whether or not there is a negative sign inside of the absolute value lines it will always be positive. But, if it's outside of it, then it will be negative.

Value of 2x when x = 5

lora16 [44]

Answer: 10

Step-by-step explanation:

My answer is correct because, if x=5 then were just multiplying 2 times 5 since 5 is not on the top like $2^{5}$ because if it was that means we have to multiply 2 by itself 5 times. But since its not a exponent you just multiply 2 times 5. And 2 x 5= 10.
