<u>Answer-</u>
The absolute value of the difference of the two numbers was found to be 7.
<u>Solution-</u>
The given two numbers are, 2 and -5.
Between these two number,
larger number = 2
smaller number = -5
(∵ As 2 is right of -5 on the number line)
Therefore, it can be proved the order doesn't matter if we take the difference in absolute value.
Answer:
Since both sides equal, there are infinitely many solutions
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplify brackets
2/3×3/1=1
Use this rule: a/b×c/d=ac/bd
Simplify 2×3 to 6
6/3×2=1
Simplify 3×2 to 6
6/6=1
cancel 6
1=1
Since both sides equal, there are infinitely many solutions
Step 1: Add 6 to both sides.
