Well what does an absolute value mean?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well, if you have a negative value in an absolute value, say |-6| it makes it into a positive value so you will get 6.

It's either c or a

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, I am sorry I had to refresh as I only saw question marks. Anyways, remember what we learned earlier about absolute values...|-6|=6 so basically this is asking if a variable x, negative or positive |x| = 4, so we would need two numbers, negative and positive, so our answer will be?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well done :)
