A). |x| = |-x|
This is always true.
The definition of 'absolute' value is 'size of the number without its sign'.
That's what this expression says.
b). |x| = -|x|
This is never true, because an absolute value is never negative.
This one would true if x=0 . So maybe some people might say
it's sometimes true, but that doesn't feel right to me. I say never.
c). |-x| = -|x|
This looks to me like exactly the same situation as (b),
and I would say all the same things about it.

Answer:
B differs from the others
Step-by-step explanation:
The other lines all have slopes of 5. Graph b has a slope of 5.5
We will call:
M=Mari
J=Jen
Initial equations:
M=2J
M+J=480
(the fact that they work 20 hours a week is not needed in this problem information)
Plug in:
2J+J=480
3J=480
J=160
Jen makes $160 a week.
Therefore:
M=2J
M=2(160)
M=320
Mari makes $320 per week
Jen makes $160 per week
