Absolute value is the distance/difference from a number to the standard number. In this case, the standard value is 14. Let's say 7-year-old Mike is riding his bike up and down the neighborhood street. Mike's house is located on 14th Avenue. Mom told Mike to stay within 3 blocks from home, so Mike can go as far north the 17th street and as far south to 11th street. 
x-14=3 or x-14=-3
x=17 or x=11

I hope this makes sense to you.

Answer: The correct answer is Choice D.

This is an example of an exponential equation. They are in the form of y=ab^x, where a is the starting value, b is the rate and x is the number of years.

Our data starts at 2500 and increases by 5%, or 100% + 5% = 1.05.

If you put them together, you have the equation y = 2500(1.05)^x, Choice D.
