@DivineSolar

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Whenever something is inside absolute value, the negative sign automatically becomes positive. So how would you re-write this once taking away the negative sign?

DivineSolar (divinesolar):

DivineSolar (divinesolar):

My bad 15 - 28.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Remember absolute value takes away the negative sign
