The absolute value
returns the "positive version" of a number.
In other words, if the number is positive, it remains positive; if the number is negative, it changes sign.
So, if we want
, we want the "positive version" of x to be 9.
This can happen in two ways: if x is already 9, then its absolute value is still nine. If instead x=-9, its positive value will be 9 again.
In formula, we have

because

Answer:
Below
Step-by-step explanation:
First we combine your first set of terms,
7b^2 + 2b^2 = 9b^2
There's a subtraction hidden in there!
9b^2 - 3b^2 = 6b^2
Next we do the same thing for the second term,
3b + 7b = 10b
but there's a subtraction in the expression!
10b - b = 9b
Then we finish with our third term
6 + 5 = 11
Answer:
6b^2 + 9b + 11
Example: 
We can see that there is more than one number with the variable x, therefore, we say they're ''like terms'' and because of that they can be summed. We do this with all of the other numbers with similar variables. If no numbers with similar variables are left, like 4a, you don't do anything but write them as they are. You can also see that 8 and 9 can also be summed because neither of them has a variable, therefore they're similar.
In this step, you just do the operation with the numbers and keep the same variable.


since there are not more numbers similar in variables, this operation is done.

Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
When you divide each of the prices by the amount of candy bars, B is the lowest. The price for 1 candy bar with A's price is 1.75. The price for 1 candy bar for B's is 1.71. The price for 1 candy bar with C's is 1.73 and the price of 1 candy bar for D's is 1.74. Again, B has the lowest price for 1 candy bar so the correct answer is B.
