Absolute Value
Absolute Value
means ...
... only how far a number is from zero:
<span>
<span><span>
</span>
<span>
<span>
"6" is 6 away from zero,
and "−6" is also 6 away from zero.
So the absolute value of 6 is 6,
and the absolute value of −6 is also 6 </span>
</span>
</span></span>
More Examples:
<span><span>The absolute value of −9 is 9</span><span>The absolute value of 3 is 3</span><span>The absolute value of 0 is 0</span><span>The absolute value of −156 is 156</span></span>
No Negatives!
So in practice "absolute value" means to remove any negative
sign in front of a number, and to think of all numbers as positive (or
zero).
Absolute Value Symbol
To show that we want the absolute value of something, we put
"|" marks either side (they are called "bars" and are found on the right
side of a keyboard), like these examples:
<span>
<span><span>
|−5| = 5
|7| = 7
</span>
</span></span>
Sometimes absolute value is also written as "abs()", so abs(−1) = 1 is the same as <span>|−1| = 1</span>
Answer:
x> 5/4
Step-by-step explanation:
9<4(x+9)−7−25
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the inequality.
9<4x+4
Step 2: Flip the equation.
4x+4>9
Step 3: Subtract 4 from both sides.
4x+4−4>9−4
4x>5
Step 4: Divide both sides by 4.
4x/4>5/4
x>5/4

Answer:
She spent 25 minutes studying last week
Step-by-step explanation:
L = last week
