Problem 52
Question
Rewrite each expression without absolute value bars. $$|-203|$$
Step-by-Step Solution
Verified Answer
The expression |-203| without the absolute value bars is 203.
1Step 1: Understand the Concept of Absolute value
The absolute value of a number refers to the distance of that number from zero. It is represented by the symbol '| |' and regardless of the number's position on the number line, its absolute value is always positive. Thus, |-203| implies 'the distance of -203 from zero'.
2Step 2: Simplify the Absolute Value
In this case, |-203| is equal to 203. This is because absolute value eliminates the negative sign of a number. Thus, |-203| simplifies to 203.
