george which of the following symbols belongs in place of

00:09

the question mark for the equation absolute value of a

00:13

plus b blank absolute value of a plus absolute value

00:18

of be given that a equals negative five in people

00:21

seven And here the potential And before we spoil the

00:25

ending hit pause it right there All right so this

00:30

is just testing whether we understand absolute values and that

00:33

we can be surgically careful in the numbers were plugging

00:36

into a place The variables In this case we just

00:40

rewrite the bass problem and we have the absolute value

00:43

of negative five plus positive seven which is positive too

00:46

And yet here the absolute value provides really doesn't matter

00:49

Plug in the other side and we have the absolute

00:52

values a or negative five which is positive Five and

00:55

absolute value Land and envy is seven and they're total

00:59

is twelve so we have two is less than equal

01:02

to or greater than twelve Well who is less than

01:06

twelve Not a toughie here So the answer is a
