Why is the absolute value of every number positive

Mathematics
1 answer:
bekas [8.4K]4 years ago
7 0

Answer:

because you can't get closer to 0 on the number line than 0 units away.

Step-by-step explanation:

it's like walking if the point is 3 foot in front of you and you walk to it once you get to it then even if you keep walking you can't go a negative number of feet away from it because the closest you can get is right on it.

A 14 foot is cut into two pieces so that one piece is 3 feet longer than twice the shorter piece
DochEvi [55]
To answer the question above, let x be the shorter one of the pieces. With the variable, we can express the longer piece as 2x + 3. Based on the given, the sum of the lengths of these pieces should sum up to 14 ft. 

                                        2x + 3 + x = 14 ft, x = 3 2/3 ft

Substituting this value for the longer piece, we get 10 1/3 ft. Thus, the lengths of the pieces are 3 2/3 ft and 10 1/3 ft.

-4(n - 6) = 12<br><br> Solve the Equation.
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]
-4(n - 6) = 12

n - 6 = -12/4   divide both sides by -4

n - 6 = -3

n = -3 + 6    add both sides by 6

n = 3

hope that helps, God bless!

What is the greatest common factor of the following monomials: 12g^5h^4 g^5h^2
muminat

Answer:

g^5h^2

Step-by-step explanation:

12g^5h^4, g^5h^2

This is one way of doing it. Break down every number and every variable into a product of the simplest factors. Then see how many of each factor appear in both monomials.

12g^5h^4 = 2 * 2 * 3 * g * g * g * g * g * h * h * h * h

g^5h^2 = g * g * g * g * g * h * h

So far you see every single prime factor of each monomial.

Now I will mark the ones that are present in both. Those are the common factors.

12g^5h^4 = 2 * 2 * 3 * g * g * g * g * g * h * h * h * h

g^5h^2 = g * g * g * g * g * h * h

The greatest common factor is the product of all the factors that appear in both monomials.

GCF = g * g * g * g * g * h * h = g^5h^2
