What is the absolute value of 2 minus the absolute value of negative 7?
-5
What would be the answer to 2 times the absolute value of -5 minus 4 times the absolute value of 2 plus 3?
90
What is the value of 10 raise to minus 2?
10-2 is 0.01
What is The absolute value of three x minus one equals the absolute value of x plus five?
First, simplify the equation: absolute (3x-1) = absolute (x+5) absolute (2x) = absolute (6) absolute (x) = absolute (3) which really means plus or minus 3, or, (+/-3) Now you have x = +/- 3, so test out x = 3 and x = -3. Test out x = 3: absolute (3*3-1) = absolute (3+5) absolute (9-1) = absolute (8) ---> absolute 8 = absolute 8 --> 8=8 which is correct! Now test x = -3 absolute (3*(-3)-1) = absolute (-3+5) ---> absolute (-9-1) = absolute (2) absolute (-10) = absolute 2 ---> 10 = 2 Since 10 does not equal 2, this is not a correct answer. Therefore x = 3.
What would be the answer to 2 times the absolute value of 5 minus 4 times the absolute value of 2 plus 3?
2 * abs( 5 - 4 ) * abs ( 2 + 3 ) = 10 Absolute value is the distance of a number from zero. So, if the math inside the absolutes is negative, it will become positive. In this case, it's not negative. After we do 5 - 4 and 2 + 3 we get... 2 * 1 * 5 We can get rid of the 1 because it's the multiplicative identity and won't change our answer any. 2 * 5 = 10
