A number and its absolute value are equal. If you subtract 2 from the number, the new number and its absolute value are not equal. What do you know about this number? What is a possible number that satisfies these conditions?
0,1,and 2
haha do u guys go to McAuliffe I
have the same question
If you are from shallow Edward B and your from 602 looking for answers then...hi
hello fellow 6th graders (or at the time you wrote your review lolz) i have also come looking for the answer. fun :D
idk what this means
its means....u suck bro u should know this ok bro....
if you are from makalapa elementary school... hi! lol
Let's break down the problem step by step.
First, we know that a number and its absolute value are equal. This means that the number must be non-negative, since the absolute value of a negative number is its positive counterpart. For example, the absolute value of -3 is 3.
Next, we know that if we subtract 2 from the number, the new number and its absolute value are not equal. This means that the number must have been greater than 2 initially.
Considering these two conditions, we can conclude that the number in question must be greater than 2 and non-negative.
A possible number that satisfies these conditions is 3. Let's verify this:
- The absolute value of 3 is 3, so the first condition is met.
- If we subtract 2 from 3, we get 1. The absolute value of 1 is 1, which is not equal to the new number. Therefore, the second condition is also met.
So, a possible number that satisfies these conditions is 3.
If x = |x|, then x is positive
If x-2 ≠ |x-2| then x-2 is negative
That should get you started.
