Add Absolute Values

Fill in the blank: An absolute value is a "distance" or how far a number is away from _______.

• zero

• home

• the next number

• the nurse's office

Evaluate the expression:

|-8| + 5 Hint: Find | - 8 | first, then add 5 to it.

• 13

• -13

• 3

• -3

Simplify: 55 + |2 - 5| Hint: Operate 2 - 5 or 2 + (-5), then take its absolute value, and add 55 to it.

• 55

• -55

• 58

• -58

• <

• >

• =

• None of the above.

What is the absolute value of 17?

• -17

• 17

• 34

• -34

When points are in the DIFFERENT quadrant you :

• add the values

• add the absolute values

• subtract the values

• subtract the absolute values

• All real numbers

Choose the 2 correct statements based on the image.

• There are 6 numbers 3 units from 0.

• There are 2 numbers 3 units from 0.

• |-3|= to 3 because they are both 3 units from 0.

• |-3| > |3| because the absolute value signs change the numbers inside into their opposites. So |-3| becomes 3 and |3| becomes -3. So yeah, this is obviously correct.

| x + 3 | ≤ 2

• No Solution

• All Real Numbers

• -5 ≤ x ≤ -1

• 1 ≤ x ≤ 5

• r > 11/4 or r < 9/4
• r > 5 or r ≤ 0
• r > 5 or r < 0
• r < -5 or r > 0
