Answer:
a = ±b
Step-by-step explanation:
The vertical bars are the symbol for "absolute value", so the equation is saying, "the absolute value of 'a' is equal to the absolute value of 'b'." The absolute value is the magnitude of a number, so, for example, |-3| = 3.
If the magnitudes of two numbers are the same, they may be the same value, or they may differ in sign.
<span>Brittany's mom should get two packages of hot dogs and three packages of buns to get the equal number of hot dogs to buns. In order to determine this, I multiplied 24 by 2 and got 48. I multiplied 16 by 3 and also got 48. The least asmount of packages she should buy are two packages of hot dogs and three packages of buns so she has an equal amount of both.</span>
Yes, because the whole number 36 is greater than 0.
-36-8 = -44
-36+(-8) = -44
