Answer: air pressure
Whenever you hear things like "high pressure" or "low pressure" on weather reports, they measured the pressure using a barometer. Knowing the air pressure helps determine if there is a higher chance of rain or storms for instance.
Typically but not always, high pressure correlates to sunny days and dry weather. Low pressure often brings about rain. This is of course a very oversimplified viewpoint.
Draw out a horizontal line. Place 0 at the center. Then place evenly spaced tick marks on either side of 0. Label the right side of tick marks as 1, 2, 3, ... moving from 0 and going to the right
Label the left side of tick marks -1, -2, -3, ... starting at 0 and moving left
The location -3 on the number line is exactly 3 units away from 0. We start at 0 and move to -3 by moving 3 spots to the left; or we start at -3 and move 3 units to the right to get to 0.
Therefore, the absolute value of -3 is 3
Absolute value on a number line is the distance a number is from 0
The distance is never negative
Answer:
33.333333333333%
Step-by-step explanation:
= 2a - 1
2(
) = 2(2a - 1) <em>multiplied both sides by 2 </em>
ab = 4a - 2 <em>distributed the 2 on the right side</em>
ab - 4a = -2 <em>subtracted 4a from both sides</em>
a(b - 4) = -2 factored out "a" from the left side
a =
<em>divided (b - 4) on both sides</em>
Answer: a =
