Exercise 88 Page 204

Let's begin by recalling the definition of the absolute value.

Absolute Value of a Number

It is a distance between the number and 0 on a number line.

In other words, the absolute value of a number is the non-negative value of that number. The absolute value of a number a can be written as |a|. |a| = a and |- a| = a Let's simplify the given absolute value expression.

|15|+|- 1|
|15|+ 1
15+1
16

Remember that the absolute value of a number a can be written as |a|. |a| = a and |- a| = a Let's simplify the given absolute value expression.

|6|+|0|
6+|0|
6+0
6

Remember that the absolute value of a number a can be written as |a|. |a| = a and |- a| = a Let's simplify the given absolute value expression.

- |2| + |8|
- (2) + |8|
- (2) + 8
- 2 +8
