Answer:

  • Given and explained below.

Step-by-step explanation:

absolute value is the non negative value of x in |x|

a. |6| = 6

b. |-17| = 17

c. -|-4.5| = -(4.5) = -4.5

d. |2-5| = |-3| = 3

e. |2-3.5| = |-1.5| = 1.5

f. -2|-2| = -2(2) = -4

Before we begin solving...

  • Note: Absolute value of a number will always be positive.

Solution (3a)

  • I6I = 6

Solution (3b)

  • I-17I = 17

Solution (3c)

  • -I-4.5I = -4.5

Solution (3d)

  • I2 - 5I = I-3I = 3

Solution (3e)

  • I2 - 3.5I = I-1.5I = 1.5

Solution (3f)

  • -2 x I-2I = -2 x 2 = -4
