OpenStudy (anonymous):

2. a I think

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because the absolute value bars cancel out the negative symbol.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay. Help me with a couple more?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so for the first one, what minus 5 equals 7?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah |2| minus 5 equals 7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok let me rephrase 2 times what minus 5 equals 7?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

add 5 plus 7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's the absolute value of 2t subtracting 5 and it equals 7.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know. I already know the answer I want you to do it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because its absolute value it doesn't matter if its positive or negative.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So b?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay thanks :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But I don't get the fraction one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Me either. XD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Haha

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's either C or D. I'm not sure. I think its C. I could be wrong.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hold on. I'll close this question and copy and paste that question into the question box.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because if you add -.0625 and 0.75 you get -1.375
