what is absolute value? what does it mean when we say |2| or |-3|?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
how far it is to zero
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
so we're talking about distances
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
specially how far a certain number is from 0
is that distance ever negative?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so |x| > -9 is always true
therefore, there are infinitely many solutions
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok
OpenStudy (anonymous):
