@tkhunny

OpenStudy (kyanna_):

|n|=5

OpenStudy (noahbred):

how?

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

This is not different. Make the substitution. Instead of writing |n|, put in the given value for n. Write it out.

OpenStudy (noahbred):

ohhhh ok so -5= 5 away from zero

OpenStudy (kyanna_):

exactly @noahbred

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

|n| ==> |-5| = 5 I believe you have it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

absolute value of (-5) = just number without sign. so Ans = 5
