22.5 (shower) = X (variable used in place of the amount of water she uses to wash clothes) - 7.5 (the amount she used in the shower is 7.5 gallons less than she uses for washing clothes)

22.5 = X - 7.5 《 This is the equation.

Solve is by adding 7.5 to both sides to cancel out the negative 7.5 and you get (X = 30).

The absolute value of a negative fraction is always greater than 1, true of false?!​
Fantom [35]

Answer: False

Step-by-step explanation: False because zero is negative or positive. The absolute value of any number could also include the absolute value of 0, which would be 0. Thus, the absolute value of any rational number is not always greater than zero, it can be zero as well. However, it is true that the absolute value of any rational number can never be negative.

Rational Number definition: Rationals contain whole numbers, integers, decimals, fractions, basically most numbers or any numbers.
