Absolute Value. The absolute value of a number is its distance from zero on the number line. For example, -7 is 7 units away from zero, so its absolute value would be 7.

Absolute value means "distance from zero" on a number line. To represent the absolute value of a number, we use a vertical bar on either side of the number. Let's try an easy problem to fully understand what absolute value means.

Let's say we are asked to find the absolute value of 4 and -4. The absolute value of 4 would be 4 because it's 4 units away from zero. The absolute value of -4 will be 4 also because it's 4 units away from zero.

Remember that if you're asked to find the absolute value of a negative number, the absolute value will always be the positive version of that number.

What is area of this shape
german

Answer:

132 ft squared

Step-by-step explanation:

One way is to divide the shape into a rectangle and a triangle, by drawing a vertical line.

This gives a rectangle that is 9 by 11, so has area 99.

The triangle has a base of 11 and height of 15 - 9 = 6.

So the area of the triangle = 1/2 x b x h = 1/2 x 11 x 6 = 33

So the total area is 99 + 33 = 132.

Solve and check the following equation. 8d + 21 = 12d + 5 <br><br><br><br> d =
olganol [36]

Subtract 8d from both sides

21 = 12d + 5 - 8d

Simplify 12d + 5 - 8d to 4d + 5

21 = 4d + 5

Subtract 5 from both sides

21 - 5 = 4d

Simplify 21 - 5 to 16

16 = 4d

Divide both side by 4

16/4 = d

Simplify 16/4 to 4

4 = d

Switch sides

d = 4

<u>Check answer</u>

8d + 21 =12d + 5

Let d = 4

8 × 4 + 21 = 12 × 4 + 5

Simplify 8 × 4 to 32

32 + 21 = 12 × 4 + 5

Simplify 12 × 4 to 48

32 + 21 = 48 + 5

Simplify 32 + 21 to 53

53 = 48 + 5

Simplify 48 + 5 to 53

53 = 53

4w+15= -13<br><br> -12=n/2-6
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

For the one including 4w the answer is - 7

The one with n/2 is - 12

Step-by-step explanation:

4w=-13-15

4w=-28

w=-7

Multiply by 2 on both sides

-24=n-12

-24+12=n

Always write it in the variables perspective.

n=-12
