does anyone know how to do this?
my HW says
Find the sum or diffrence
1) l -13 – 2 l
2) l-13 l – l 2 l
3)l -13 l + l -2 l
thanks agan to anyone who helps me with this!
I hope its not confusig as to what it says but I had to use l’s as absolute value signs
Favorite Answer
2) 11
3) 15
ahh I miss algebra
1) I -13 -2 I
the -13 becomes positive and the minus becomes a plus
so it is 13 + 2
2) l -13 l – l 2 l
the -13 becomes positive 13
the 2 stays the same
so it is 13 -2
3)l -13 l + l -2 l
both the 13 and 2 change into their positive forms
so it becomes 13 + 12
1) -13 -2 = -15 absolute value is 15
2) 13 -2 = 11
3) 13 + 2 = 15
Absolute value is a number’s distance from zero and there is no negative distance.
I-20I = 20
I20I = 20
I-20 + 1I = I-19I = 19
I-20I – I1I = 20 – 1 = 19
etc.
