Question

Is there anyone who could help me get through this algebra really quickly? I'm behind and don't understand.

Answer 1

i think you should write your question ahead eitherway

Answer 2

about to attach it

Answer 3

The first one is 13 or -13 since X is an absolute values it will always be positive

Answer 4

the second one is A i assume
The 3rd one is B

Answer 5

do u think u can figure the last problem

Answer 6

I literally have no clue how you're figuring these out

Answer 7

do you know what absolute value are?

Answer 8

not really

Answer 9

a number with is an absolute value is always positive for example |8|= 8... or |-8|=8.. regardless of in any situation, a values that are with in an absolute | | are always positive

Answer 10

that still isn't helping me. like i don't know what to do with that

Answer 11

So in practice "absolute value" means to remove any negative sign in front of a number, and to think of all numbers as positive
for the first problem |x|+5 = 18.. you could sub 13 or -13 to the absolute value of X and u will get 18 since the absolute value removes the negative

Answer 12

still confused?

Answer 13

google or read about the absolute value to have more understanding on it..

for the last problem the answer is A) 1/8 or -1/8.....since when u sub either 1/8 or -1/8 for a, you get -5/8
