If you decrease something by 32%, you are left with 68%
0.68(25) = 17
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.
x would equal 24
24/2 - 24/3 = 4
Answer: 18
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
3² * 3ⁿ = 3²⁰
3⁽²⁺ⁿ⁾ = 3²⁰
2 + n = 20
<u> -2 </u> <u> -2</u>
n = 18
