4 0

Replace all the variables that we know the value for.

-3 = |x|

Make to equations from this one.

-3 = x and -3 = -(x)

Solve the first one.

-3 = x
x = -3 <-- Switch it around

-3 = -(x)
-(x) = -3 <-- Switch it around
x = 3 <-- Divide both sides by -1

So, there are two possible answers, -3 and 3.

Answer:

a. plane DEA

Step-by-step explanation:

A plane can be named by naming any 3 non-collinear points in the plane, or by using the plane's name as indicated in the drawing.

Here, points in the plane are A, D, E, F, with DEF all on the same line. So A plus any two points from the line will constitute a name for the plane. Also, this plane is identified with a script M that can be used to name the plane.

M is not an answer choice, but DEA is. So, the appropriate choice is ...

plane DEA

F is a point, not a plane name. C is not on the plane, so cannot be used to name it. 'k' is a line name, not a plane name.
