Absolute value is a number's distance away from 0. So, all answers are positive. -4/25 is 4/25's away from 0, so your answer is -4/25. To clarify: if you have the absolute value of ANY number, it will always be the positive version of itself.

The answer is incorrect; the plus sign should be a minus sign (apex)
Step-by-step explanation:
n, n + 2, n + 4 - three consecutive even integers
3n = 2(n + 4) + 4 |use distributive property
3n = (2)(n) + (2)(4) + 4
3n = 2n + 8 + 4
3n = 2n + 12 |subtract 2n from both sides
n = 12
n + 2 = 12 + 2 = 14
n + 4 = 12 + 4 = 16
Answer: 12, 14, 16.
