evaluate the following please
|-25| I put 25 as answer,, is this right the lines are staight lines
Thanks for your help.
yeah you are right, the lines mean absolute value, which is the numbers distance form zero. -25's distance form zero is 25, so you would put 25.
Thanks anna
welcome! :)
To evaluate the expression |-25|, you need to find the absolute value of -25. The absolute value of a number is its distance from zero on a number line, so it is always positive. In this case, since -25 is 25 units away from zero in the negative direction, the absolute value of -25 is 25.
So, the correct evaluation of |-25| is indeed 25. Your answer is correct! Well done!
