Question

Algebra help will give medal!

Answer 1

whats the question?

Answer 2

PLease hold on

Answer 3

ok so do you know what absolute value is?

Answer 4

ummm... no

Answer 5

absolute value is the distance it is from zero. so, if the absolute value was say |10|, its 10 away from zero so the answer is ten. BUT if its |-10| the answer is TILL 10, because it cant be -10 away from zero.
Absolute value is ALWAYS positive, so that should find the answer pretty quickly (:

Answer 6

so if the equation was |x|=10,
x can be 10, or -10.

Answer 7

so the answer woul be A??

Answer 8

could |10|=20?

Answer 9

how would i figure it out?

Answer 10

well |10| would be how far away ten is from zero.
is 10 20 away from zero?
(no, its 10 away from zero)
the answer is B, because |20|, and |-20| can equal 20.
absolute value is always positive.

Answer 11

Ok i get it can u help me with a few more?

Answer 12

sure, but I wont just give you the answers, im going to help you figure this out for the future kk?

Answer 13

kk:D

Answer 14

ok so |x-5|=20
now, whatever x is, it has to be 5 more than 20, because that -5 will mess it up.
then whatever that number is, will be your answer

Answer 15

oo actually you dont even need to do this.
the 20 can only be positive right?
how many answer options up there are negative c:

Answer 16

so would it be ...

B??

Answer 17

yeeeeep "D
always look at the answer options before even solving it, sometimes it has stuff like that

Answer 18

i got it :D can u help me out a ltitle more

Answer 19

ok (:

Answer 20

I'll give you a hint about absolutue value, they can't be negative.
that might help number 4

Answer 21

is C & D for 4??
what bout 3?? would that be A?

Answer 22

well for number 4 just check the ones that are negative...everything else is correct
for number 3 take 7 and times it by 20, that will be x
for number 5 add 6 to 14 and divide by 4, thats also x

Answer 23

so for 3 is C??
and 4 C & D?
5 im not sure what that would be?

Answer 24

for 4 its a and b because negatives cant be a solution
3 is c, good job
and I believe D is A?

Answer 25

u mean 5 is A?

Answer 26

yes I meant 5 :P my bad

Answer 27

there is 3 more can u help?

Answer 28

I really don't know tbh, we didnt spend much time on absolute value equations in math.
I would try posting this again and seeing if somebody else can help, sorry
