Example Question #1 : How To Find Absolute Value
Simplify the following expression:
Simplify the following expression:
We can begin by changing the absolute value sign to a positive 16.
We can do this because negative numbers within an absolute value sign should always be thought of as positive numbers.
Next, simplify your fraction to get
Example Question #11 : Number Lines And Absolute Value
Answer the following using
The absolute value of a number is equal to the distance that number is from zero on a number. Because it is a distance, it cannot be negative. So
can be found at a distance of 9 from zero on a number. Therefore,
So, we can rewrite the original problem.
This can now very easily be solved.
Example Question #11 : Number Lines And Absolute Value
Solve:
Solve what is inside the absolute value first.
Any value inside an absolute value will result to a positive number.
The answer is:
Example Question #13 : Number Lines And Absolute Value
Solve:
By order of operations, solve the terms inside the absolute value first.

The answer is:
Example Question #12 : Number Lines And Absolute Value
Simplify the following:
To solve, first treat the absolute value like a parenthesis and simplify your inside. Therefore you get,
Then, you must remember that absolute value means you make the quantity on the inside positive, so our number becomes 3 instead of negative 3.
