<h2>Solving Equations with Absolute Values</h2><h3>
Answer:</h3>
and 
<h3>
Step-by-step explanation:</h3>
Solving for the Positive Absolute Value:

Solving for the Negative Absolute Value:

The taxes are figured as follows: 0.089(value of car)
Here the taxes are 0.089(value of car) = $1100.
Divide both sides of this equation by 0.089 to determine the value of the car.
value of car = $12359.55, or approx $12360.
In multiplication, a negative times a positive has a negative answer. if both are positive or both are negative, the answer is positive.
5 * -5 = -25
-5* -5 = 25
in divisions say you have
-5/5 = -1
-5/-5= 1
5/-5= -1
in addition and subtraction, subtracting a negative means to add the two numbers. adding a negative means to subtract the second number.
5+ (-5) = 0
5- (-5) = 10
