Algebra.Com's Answer #154532 by Alan3354(69443)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! what is the solution set for /-q/ = 7 \n" ); document.write( "I know that /q/ = 7 (7, -7) \n" ); document.write( "But if q is negative, then I'm wondering if for some reason a negative would cancel out the negatvie in -q. Am I thinking too hard on this? \n" ); document.write( "What is the answer and why? \n" ); document.write( "------------------- \n" ); document.write( "Absolute value is the distance along the number line to zero. \n" ); document.write( "|-7| is 7 units from the zero, so |-7| = 7. \n" ); document.write( "+7 is also 7 units from zero, so |+7| = 7. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
