"We use different formulas to find the distance of a segment on a number line, d=|a−b|, and the distance of a segment in the coo

rdinate plane, d=(x2−x1)2+(y2−y1)2−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−√. Why is it necessary to use the absolute value of the difference when finding the distance on a number line, but not necessary when finding the differences of the coordinates in the coordinate plane?"

Distances are considered to be non-negative in all cases.

The absolute value function is necessary to get a positive result when the difference of coordinate values is negative.

The square root function is defined to return a positive result always, so no absolute value function is required when the distance is found using the square root function.

Answer: 80%

80,000 = 100%

20,000 = 20%

100% - 20% = 80%

Always convert the main number into 100 and follow through with the other numbers

Help with this!!plz. Asap

Hey there! :D

So, we know that there are 3 z's and 3 6's. 

3*z= 3z

6*3= 18 

3(z+6) <== equivalent expression 

3z+18 <== equivalent expression

z is by itself. It shouldn't combine. It should stay the same. 6 as a unit is separate from z. 

Choices "B" and "E" are correct.

I hope this helps!
