Question

Jeffrey owes his friend $5. How much is Jeffrey’s debt?

Answer 1

Answer:

$5

Step-by-step explanation:

These exercises are about calculating the magnitude of quantities, and for this we use the absolute value. The absolute value or modulus of x, defined as |x|, of a number x is value of x regardless to its sign. This means we will have |x| = x if x is positive, and |x| = −x if x is negative, so our result will be always positive.

Jeffrey’s debt is then |$5|=$5
