Answer:

This statement is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

The absolute value is how far the number is from zero, so how many steps will it take on a number line to get from that particular number to zero?

Since you can't have negative steps, The -13 in absolute value would be 13.

The -(-13) is the same thing as saying -1 ( -13 ). Since negative times a negative is a positive, 13=13 is a true statement.

I didn't understand this to be honest I thought I had to find what jm and lm were together and then subtract from the whole tota

prisoha [69]

Answer:

The correct answer is 3x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

It gives you the expression for JM and LM, and it asks for JL. Therefore, if you take away LM from JM, you are left with JL. You must subtract 2x-6 from 5x-8.

∴5x-8-(2x-6)

Do not forget to distribute the negative since you are subtracting, so instead of subtracting 6 from 8, you will be adding 6 to 8 because two negatives make a positive.
