Since -5 and -5 are the same number, they are on the same y axis so the only distance we need to calculate is between the X coordinates.
When looking for distance, you can not have a negative. what |-3|+|9| is looking for is the distance from 0 on the X axis. since distance can't be negative, (you go 3 miles away from your house in one direction, vs 3 miles in the opposite. both ways is positive, even with opposite directions. same with axis, it doesnt matter which way, only the number.) you need the absolute value of -3 to get the distance from the 0 on the x axis.
short version: distance is positive, and its adding the distances from the x axis to get distance from each other
Largest to Smallest:-
First lets write all the numbers down. 45, 94, 85, 490, 85, 93, 85, 035, 85.
035 is 35.
So lets order them now.
The biggest number is 490 and smallest is 35 (035).
490 - 94 - 93 - 85 - 85 - 85 - 85 - 035 (35)
2x+4y+0.50z=36 represents the situation.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let,
Drinks = x
Sandwich = y
And,
Chips = z
Total amount on these items = $36
According to the statement;

2x+4y+0.50z=36 represents the situation.
