To solve, we will need to plug in -5 for x in both instances.
|-5 + 2| / -5 + 2
|-3| / -3
Now, these absolute value bars may be a bit puzzling. What we have to do is take the absolute value of the number inside of the brackets. Meaning, that if the number is negative, we make it positive, and if the number is positive, then it stays positive.
3 / -3
-1
Hope this helps!! :)
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
This question is actually a lot simpler than it seems
for a quarter think about money - a quarter is 25 cents or 1/4 of a dollar - so 1 and a quarter yard in decimal form is equivalent to 1.25
now you need to find how many 1 and a quarter yards are in 3 yards - to do this you simply divide 3 by 1.25
3/1.25 = 2.4
so julie can cut 2.4 1 and a quarter long pieces from the string
