This week in math 11 we learned about absolute values. A absolute value is always positive so if you have  |-6| then your answer would be 6.

In this example I have the equation so we know that 2 – (-8) would turn into 2 + 8 so our numerator would be 10. Then we would have |3| – |-2| since -2 is an absolute value it is changed into 2. then we have 3 – 2 = 1.

so our fraction is = 10

.

Another example is | + 6x – 5|, x = 2

So if X = 2 then we know = 4 and 6 x 2 = 12

|4 + 12 – 5|

4+ 12 = 16

16 – 5 = 11

= 11
