For what value or values of b is it true that |b| = -b

Answer: b = 0 or anything negative (like b = -2)

So any value of b such that b \le 0

==================================================

Explanation:

|b| is the distance from b on the number line to 0

The distance is never negative as negative distance does not make sense.

If b was some positive number, then |b| = b. For instance, |7| = 7. This shows 7 is seven units away from 0 on the number line.

----------

If b is negative or zero, then |b| = -b. Why? Because the result of |b| is the opposite of whatever negative b value you put in. For example, b = -2 leads to

|b| = |-2| = 2

while

-b = -(b) = -(-2) = 2

The two negatives cancel each other out to get a positive result.

This shows, |-2| = -(-2) = 2

Meaning that the location -2 is two units away from 0 on the number line.

Answer:

b =0

Step-by-step explanation:

The only value where  |b| = -b  is when b=0

|0| = -0

0 = 0

Absolute value means non- negative

non-negative = negative

This is only true when we equal zero

posledela

Answer:

8 months

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract $150 from $430 to get $280, the amount if money that Manuel has to earn to reach his goal.

If he is adding $35 to his account each month, then all you have to do is divide the amount you need by the amount you are earning each month to get the number of months until you reach your goal.

$280 divided by $35 is 8, so it would take 8 months for Manuel to reach his goal.
