@Zeke

Answer 2

the most basic absolute value function looks like this:

|input| = output

the output must always be 0 or greater, but the input can be negative

Answer 3

if you have |X| = 12 (from Allison's HW)

X can be -12 or 12 because:

|12| = 12
|-12| = 12

That's where I'm getting it wrong, when |x| i thought only abaolute value can be positive. No?

Answer 5

the outside must be positive, but the inside can be negative or positive
