Question

Yasmine finds the absolute value of –655. Which expression represents this value?

Answer 1

Answer:

$|p|=+655$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :Yasmine finds the absolute value of –655.

To Find: Which expression represents this value?

Solution :

$|p|=\left \{ {{p,\text{if p}\geq 0 } \atop {-p,\text{if p}\leq 0}} \right.$

So, p = - 655

So, p < 0

So, $|p|=-(-655)$

$|p|=+655$

Hence $|p|=+655$

Answer 2

Answer:

$|-655|= 655$

Step-by-step explanation:

Yasmine finds the absolute value of –655.

WE use the rule of absolute value function

$|x| =x$ also $|-x| =x$

Absolute value function always gives us positive value

for example $|5| =5$ and $|-5| =5$

So the absolute value of -655 is

$|-655|= 655$
