What is the absolute value of -5

2 answers:

8 0

Answer: +5

Explanation: When a problem is asking us to find the absolute value of a number, it's really asking us how far is that number from zero.

So the absolute value of -5 is really asking us

how far is -5 away from zero on a number line.

I have drawn a number line below and you can see that -5

is 5 units to the left of zero which means its 5 units from zero.

So the absolute value of -5 is +5.

3 0

The absolute value of 2 + 7 is 5.

Given

George has 9 fence

It requires $2\frac{2}{3}$ cans to paint a fence

So, 9 fence required

$\Rightarrow 9\times 2\dfrac{2}{3}\\\\\Rightarrow 9\times \dfrac{8}{3}\\\\\Rightarrow 3\times 8=24\ \text{cans}$

9 fence requires 24 cans

Hi there!

I believe your answer is:

"Line y = −2x + 3 intersects line y = x − 5."

»»————-　★　————-««

Here’s why:

When the system of equations are graphed, they would intersect at a point.
This means that there is a solution to the system. The solution is $(\frac{8}{3} ,-\frac{7}{3} )$ .
While the statement that the lines intersect the x-axis is true, the question asks the statement that describes the solution.
The solution is the point of intersection between the two lines.
