Kyle Bond · Answer 1

Absolute value indicates that we are focusing on the distance, not the direction. Which means that the sign will not be included.

l-9+4l

-9+4 = - 5

l-5l Absolute value of - 5 is 5.

Answer: 5

Micaela Abbott · Answer 2

The absolute value sign changes anything that's in it to become a positive number. So - 9 + 4 is - 5. The | | will make the - 5 becomes positive. So |-5| = 5.

Your answer is 5.
