thank you

Answer 7

Think of absolute value of a number as the distance from that number to zero on the number line. It can never be negative.
For example:

|0| = 0
|1| = 1
|-1| = 1
|5| = 5
|-7| = 7

Answer 20

@Ms.Selena
1. If for you -12.1 and 12.1 are the same, you have no business "helping" people with math questions.
2. Helping means helping the person understand the probelm, not just throwing an answer.

Answer 21

D is not C you are mistaking by that

Answer 22

mistaken

Answer 23

On the last step, a and zero were added together, and the result is a.
Adding zero to a number does not change the number.
A number after having zero added to it keeps its "identity."
Is this enough of a clue?

Answer 24

@Ms.Selena
You are correct. I stand corrected. Your answer was correct. D is -12.1 which is correct. I misread it above.

Still I don't think that just answering a question with no explanation is helpful to the poster. He didn't learn anything. It's as if he had copied his homework from yours.
