Question

How do you do this

FINDING OPPOSITES AND ABSOLUTE VALUES
For the given value do a find -a and |a|.

1. a=-3
2. a=-0
3.a= 2.7
4.a= -7.9
5.a= -5/6
6.a= 1 1/3

Answer 1

the absolute value is how far away that number is from zero. so for number 1, -3 is 3 places away from zero. so the absolute value of -3 is 3. using number 1 again, to get -a, you negate the number. when you negate a negative number it becomes positive.

Answer 2
