Step-by-step explanation:

The smaller number is 18.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let larger number = x and  smaller number = \dfrac{2}{3} x32x

To find, the smaller number = ?

According to question,

x+\dfrac{2}{3} x=45x+32x=45

⇒ \dfrac{3x+2x}{3} =4533x+2x=45

⇒ 5x=45\times 35x=45×3

⇒ 5x=1355x=135

⇒ x =\dfrac{135}{5} =27x=5135=27

∴ Smaller number =\dfrac{2}{3} \times 27=2\times 9 =18=32×27=2×9=18

Hence, the smaller number is 18.

What is an absolute value? What does it do? When would we need to use an absolute value
Nana76 [90]
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>
