The absolute value of a number is the distance from 0 to that number. The distance is positive, hence, the absolute value is always a positive number.

<h3>Exercise</h3>

Replace the value of x:

$| x - 8 |$

$| -4 - 8 |$

$| -12 | = \large{\boxed{12}}$

The absolute value of a number is the numerical value of the number, without regard to its sign.

Answer:

232 cars

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say the number of cars that entered is c.

At 9:00 am, there are a total of 24 + c cars and 64 trucks. We know that this value of 64 represents 1/5 of the total number of vehicles. The total number of vehicles is (24 + c) + 64 = 88 + c. So, we have:

64/(88 + c) = 1/5

Cross-multiply:

88 + c = 64 * 5 = 320

c = 320 - 88 = 232

Thus, the answer is 232 cars.

Note: as 232 doesn't show up in the answer choices, it's possible that the problem was copied correctly.
