I don't know what the graft is
Absolute Value
Absolute Value
means ...
... only how far a number is from zero:
<span>
<span><span>
</span>
<span>
<span>
"6" is 6 away from zero,
and "−6" is also 6 away from zero.
So the absolute value of 6 is 6,
and the absolute value of −6 is also 6 </span>
</span>
</span></span>
More Examples:
<span><span>The absolute value of −9 is 9</span><span>The absolute value of 3 is 3</span><span>The absolute value of 0 is 0</span><span>The absolute value of −156 is 156</span></span>
No Negatives!
So in practice "absolute value" means to remove any negative
sign in front of a number, and to think of all numbers as positive (or
zero).
Absolute Value Symbol
To show that we want the absolute value of something, we put
"|" marks either side (they are called "bars" and are found on the right
side of a keyboard), like these examples:
<span>
<span><span>
|−5| = 5
|7| = 7
</span>
</span></span>
Sometimes absolute value is also written as "abs()", so abs(−1) = 1 is the same as <span>|−1| = 1</span>
recall minus * minus * minus * minus * minus is minus.
A= player A runs batted in
b= player B runs batted in= a-13
250= a + b
substitute b= a-13 for b
250= a + (a-13)
combine like terms
250= 2a -13
add 13 to both sides
263= 2a
divide both sides by 2
131.5= a
Substitute a= 131.5 into equation
250= a + b
250= 131.5 + b
subtract 131.5 from both sides
118.5= b
Hope this helps! :)
