Answer:
The difference in meaning is that
-3 is a signed value. It lies to the left of zero
+3 is also a signed value, and since it is positive, it lies to the right of zero
|-3| is just the physical distance (left or right) of -3 from zero. Since we live in a physical world, all distances are positive, so its signed value is 3.
Since +3 is also 3 units from zero, |+3| = 3
|-3| = |+3| = 3 since both are three units away from zero.
So, when using absolute values as numbers, rather than distances,
|x| = x if x is not negative
|x| = -x if x is negative
Answer:
u ≤ 4
Step-by-step explanation:
The given inequality
15 ≤ 39 - 6u
Subtract 39 from both sides, we get
15 - 39 ≤ 39 - 6u - 39
-24 ≤ -6u
Dividing both sides by -6, we get
4 ≥ u [Remember, when we divide by negative, the direction of
the inequality changes]
Which is u ≤ 4.
Thank you.
