Answer: the answer is absolute value.

Step-by-step explanation: The absolute value of a number is the value a number has not considering the negatives for example -3 would be 3 if we were looking for the absolute value.

Julia used absolute value to find the distance between 0 and 6 on a number line. She then wrote a similar statement to represent

Schach [20]

Answer:

Absolute value function.

Step-by-step explanation:

The absolute value of a number helps us to calculate the distance between a number and zero, provided the direction does not play an important role.

The absolute value of a number can never be negative since it is the value of distance.

The absolute value function is defined as:

$\mid a \mid = a, a > 0\\~~~~~ = -a, a < 0$

So, it is correct to write the statement that distance between 0 and 6 is equal to distance between 0 and -6.

$\mid 6 \mid = 6\\\mid -6 \mid = -(-6) = 6$

Sholpan [36]

Answer:

25.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write the expression as 10x + 2.5x where x is the tens digit.

So reversed we have 25x + x.

- and 25x + x - (10x + 2.5x) = 27

22.5x - 9x = 27

13.5x = 27

x = 2 and 2.5x = 5.

So the number is 25.
