how do you determine the absolute value of a number​

Sagot :

Answer:

The most common way to represent the absolute value of a number or expression is to surround it with the absolute value symbol: two vertical straight lines.

1. |6| = 6 means “the absolute value of 6 is 6.”

2. |–6| = 6 means “the absolute value of –6 is 6.”

3. |–2 – x| means “the absolute value of the expression –2 minus x.”

Answer:

the absolute value of a number can be determined by the distance it has from the zero in the number line.

Example:

The absolute value of 3 is |3|

same with -3 with an absolute value of |3| beacuse they have the same distance from zero in the number line.
