Not necessarily. the absolute value of a number is that number's distance from 0 on a number line. if your taking the absolute value of a negative value, what you stated would be true. however, what if you took the absolute value of a positive number? hope that answers your question.
Answer: (4, -9)
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Use elimination method. Manipulate one (or both) equations to eliminate one of the variables and solve for the remaining variable. <em>I will be eliminating y</em>
6x + y = 15 → 2(6x + y = 15) → 12x + 2y = 30
-7x - 2y = -10 → 1(-7x + 2y = -10) → <u> -7x - 2y = -10</u>
5x = 20
x = 4
Next, replace "x" with "4" into either equation and solve for y.
6(4) + y = 15
24 + y = 15
y = -9
<u>Check:</u>
Plug in x = 4 and y = -9 into the other equation to verify it makes a true statement.
-7x - 2y = -10
-7(4) - 2(-9) = -10
-28 - -18 = -10
-28 + 18 = -10
-10 = -10 
Answer:
The value of x is 11
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>Two angles are complementary if the sum of their measures is 90°</em>
Let us use this rule to solve our question
∵ The angle of measure (3x)° and the angle of measure (5x + 2)°
are complementary angles
→ That means their sum equals 90°
∴ 3x + 5x + 2 = 90
→ Add the like terms in the left side
∵ (3x + 5x) + 2 = 90
∴ 8x + 2 = 90
→ Subtract 2 from both sides to move 2 from the left side to the right side
∵ 8x + 2 - 2 = 90 - 2
∴ 8x = 88
→ Divide both sides by 8 to find x
∵ 8x/8 = 88/8
∴ x = 11
∴ The value of x is 11
