What value of x makes the expression x 2 and 2x equal?

Any value of x! Multiplication is commutative, that is, the order of multiplication doesn't matter, so 2x3=3x2, 23x45=45x23, and so on. Hence, 2 times x and x times 2 are the same. Therefore, it doesn't matter what x is!

Zero. The absolute value |n| is positive for any real number. Subtracting it from itself is zero.


Does it matter which way you subtract the values when finding distance when subtracting negative numbers?

The RULES for subtraction do not depend on the signs of the numbers. A - B means the value of A (+ or -) minus the value of B(+ or -). So if A is -1 and B is -2 you have (-1) - (-2). Subtracting a minus is a plus (like taking away a debt). So: (-1)+2 or -1+2 = 1. Think of positives as dollars in your hand, and minuses as bills in your hand you have to pay. If someone takes away a bill, you are better off. Similarly for distances. So it does matter - you must do it properly.
