Question

What is the absolute value of [a-5], if a is greater than 5 ?

Answer 1

Hi
[a-5]
a=greater than 5 then
we can carry any greater number like 6
6-5 is 1
the greater can be changed with any number 7-5 is 2
we don't know the proper value of it.

Answer 2

Answer:

so, the absolute value of [a-5] given that a is greater than 5 is a-5

Step-by-step explanation:

The absolute value of a expression is it's distance from zero on a number line.

( the absolute value of a positive number is the number itself and the absolute value of the number is the it's opposite)

for example:

Absolute value of 5 is:

|5|=5

and -5 is:

|-5|=5

• We are asked to find the absolute value of a-5 given that a is greater than 5.

Since, a is greater than 5,

so a-5 will be always greater than 0.

(

since, a>5

⇒  a-5>0

)

Hence the absolute value is:

|a-5|=a-5
