This should be the answer.
The absolute value is always non-negative!
So the absolute value of 57 is 57 itself, as it's non-negative (i.e. it's positive or 0).
Opposite value is the number with a different sign: an opposite value of a positive number is negative, so here it will be -57 .
The correct answer is C.
8. It is divisible by both 32 and 40.
Answer:
x = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
8x + 4(x - 3) = 4(6x + ) -4
8x +(4)(x) + (4)(-3) = (4)(6x) + (4)(4) + -4 (distribute)
8x + 4x + -12 = 24x + 16 + -4
(8x) + (4x) +(-12) = (24x) + (16 + -4) (combine like terms)
12x + -12 = 24x + 12
12x -12 = 24x + 12
Step 2: Subtract 24x from both sides.
12x -12 -24x = 24x + 12 -24x
-12x -12 = 12
Step 3: Add 12 to both sides.
-12x - 12 + 12 = 12 + 12
-12x = 24
Step 4: Divide both sides by -12.
-12x/-12 = 24/-12 <u>x = -2</u>
