|ad-c|/|b-3| First, let us consider the numerator. |ad-c| Substitute a = -4, c = 2, and d = -3 into the expression |ad-c| What is (-4)(-3)-(2) ?

10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now consider |b-3| Substitute b=8 into b-3 What is 8-3?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Right, so |ad-c|/|b-3| = 10/5 = ...?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No.
