what 2 numbers have the absolute value of 13?

Parth (parthkohli):

-13 and 13.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

13 is surely one of them can you guess at the other?

Parth (parthkohli):

Absolute value means distance from zero on a number line, either ways.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how is it written?

Parth (parthkohli):

\(\Large \color{MidnightBlue}{\Rightarrow |13| = 13,-13 }\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh heck no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you use {} and commas in the answer?

Parth (parthkohli):

Oops

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\(|13|=13\) and \(|-13|=13\)

Parth (parthkohli):

Wait, what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you could write if \(|x|=13\) then \(x=13\) or \(x=-13\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The question says:What two numbers have the absolute value of 13?

Parth (parthkohli):

Can we even determine absolute value of a negative o.O

Parth (parthkohli):

13 and -13 is the answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

THANK YOU

Parth (parthkohli):

|dw:1337865934817:dw| Distance of 13 units means |13|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, that is the answer to the question but this line \[\Large \color{MidnightBlue}{\Rightarrow |13| = 13,-13 }\] makes no senses

Parth (parthkohli):

How do we write it then?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|-7| = ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its 7

Parth (parthkohli):

Yes it's 7

Parth (parthkohli):

Yeah the distance from 0 is 7. CORRECTO

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|x|=-8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it's an empty set

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there's no solution

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|y+4|=6
