What is the difference between a positive and negative fraction?
If you mean the difference in terms of numerical value, then it is the positive faction minus the negative faction, which is calculated as the positive fraction plus the absolute value* of the negative fraction - just like the difference between a positive and negative number. * The absolute value of a number is the value of the number ignoring any minus sign; eg abs(-4) = 4 = abs(4). If you mean the difference in terms of where they are on the number line, then the positive fraction is one side of zero (it is greater than zero) and the negative fraction is the other side of zero (it is less than zero).
What is negative 6 plus the absolute value of negative 11?
-6 + abs(-11) = -6 + 11 = 5
What is The difference of a number and -6 is less than 9?
abs(n - 6) < 9.
Why For x less than 0 the absolute value of x equals negative x please explain?
That is how the absolute value is defined. For x < 0 the value of x is negative (by definition). Therefore, the value of negative x is positive (negative of a negative). So abs(x) = -x when x < 0
What is the compound sentence of abs value ax plus b equals 15?
ax + b = 15 or ax + b = -15
