what is the value of the expression when x=9? 5|6-x|

Question

aihberkhan · Answer

Just plug in 9 for $x$. So it would become $5|6-9|$

aihberkhan · Answer

Now $6 - 9$ is $-3$.

aihberkhan · Answer

Since it is in the absolute value lines it would become positive $3$.

hint:
we can write this:
$$\Large  \left| {6 - 9} \right| = \left| { - 3} \right| = 3$$

aihberkhan · Answer

Now do $5*3$. When you do this you should get $15$.

Oh, thank you @AihberKhan !!! You explain things really well, I'll take note into this. :) I'm currently sick and have to miss school, just finishing my homework. It's bad enough that my teacher doesn't bother to help me- considering I missed her class, lol.
