Example Question #9 : Absolute Value
Solve:
Explanation:
Step 1: Solve the problem
Step 2: Solve for the absolute value
Remember, absolute value refers to the total number of units, so it will always be positive. For instance, if I am $5 in debt, I have -$5, but the absolute value of my debt is $5, because that is the total number of dollars that I'm in debt.
Example Question #4 : Absolute Value
