The first is an absolute value sign. But there is a - outside the first one so the -4 does become positive but then becomes negative again so you have -4
The second value is basically saying the same thing as -1x-4 which become a negative times a negative which is positive. You end up with 4.
So no it does not equal each other.
I do see an extra absolute value symbol though on the right side of the equal sign. But it looks like either way it would be -4 = 4 and that's not true. So either way it should be false.
Answer: 
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: The total time taken by Evan to mow the 3 lawns = 
Time taken by Evan to mow the first lawn =
Time taken by Evan to mow the second lawn =
Now,Time taken by Evan to mow the third lawn =
⇒Time taken by Evan to mow the third lawn =
⇒Time taken by Evan to mow the third lawn =
Hence, the time taken by Evan to mow the third lawn =
Hey there!
First, we will do the subtraction with the two like terms on the left. I know they're like terms because although they have different coefficients, they have the same variable.
We have:
2n=4
Divide both sides by 3 to get:
n = 2
Hope this helps!
PART A:
Scientific notation is given by A×10ⁿ where A is any number in a unit and 'n' is an integer.
0.000025 = 2.5×10⁻⁵
PART B:
Diameter of grain of sand ÷ Diameter of human body average cell
(2×10⁻⁴) ÷ (1×10⁻⁵)
(2÷1) × (10⁻⁴÷10⁻⁵)
2 × (10⁻⁴ ⁻ ⁻⁵) = 2 × 10⁽⁻⁴⁺⁵⁾ = 2 × 10¹ = 20 times bigger
PART C:
The diameter of human body's average cell in nanometer
1 × 10⁻⁵ metre = 1 × 10⁻⁵ × 10⁹ = 1 × 10⁽⁻⁵⁺⁹⁾ = 1 × 10⁴ nanometer
PART D:
Smallest bacteria = 300 nanometer
300 nm = 300 ÷ 10⁹ = (3 × 10²) ÷ 10⁹ = 3 × (10²⁻⁹) = 3 × 10⁻⁷ meter
PART E:
Laws of exponents that are applied in scientific notation is
xᵇ × xᵃ = x⁽ᵇ⁺ᵃ⁾
xᵇ ÷ xᵃ = x⁽ᵇ⁻ᵃ⁾
