Answer:
5 = |-5|
Step-by-step explanation:
Think of it as a number line, like in the picture below. The absolute value is how far a number is from zero (0). If 5 is 5 away from zero, then the opposite of 5 (-5) is also 5 away from zero.
Refer to the picture below for an illustration:
Answer:
Equal to.
Step-by-step explanation:
5 is the absolute value of -5. The bars you see indicate that you are trying to find the absolute value.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The absolute value is the distance of that number from 0. The absolute value is always positive.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|-5|= 5. If the bars were not there, then it would be . If the two terms were flipped, it would be
. But because the bars are there, it is resembling the absolute value.

Here are a few more examples to help you understand:
|6| The absolute value of 6 is 6. It is 6 values away from 0.
|-1| The absolute value of -1 is 1. It is 1 value away from 0.
|-10| The absolute value of -10 is 10. It is 10 values away from 0.
|98| The absolute value of 98 is 98. It is 98 values away from 0.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
a = 2, b = 1, c = -3
We need to factor this by finding the product of a and c, then from there find which factors of a * c will either add or subtract to give us b.
a * c = 6 and the factors of 6 and 1 and 6, 2 and 3. Well, 6 - 1 doesn't equal 1 and neither does 6 + 1. So our factors are 3 and 2. In order to combine those to get a 1 (our b), we will subtract 2 from 3 since 3 - 2 = 1. That means that 3 is positive and 2 is negative. Filling in the formula with 3 and 2 in place of 1 looks like this (always remember to put the absolute value of the largest number first):
Group the first 2 terms together and the second 2 term together in order to factor:
and factor out what's common in each set of parenthesis.
Notice that when we factor out a -1 from the second set of parenthesis, we can distribute it back in to get the equation we started with. We know that factoring by grouping "works" if what is inside both sets of parenthesis is exactly the same. Ours are identical: (2x + 3). That is common now, and can be factored out:
That matches your first choice
