Problem 58
Question
Rewrite each expression without absolute value bars. $$\frac{-7}{|-7|}$$
Step-by-Step Solution
Verified Answer
-1
1Step 1: Identify the Absolute Value
The absolute value in the expression is |-7|. The absolute value of a number is its distance from zero on the number line. It is always positive or zero.
2Step 2: Calculate the Absolute Value
The absolute value of -7 is 7. Because whether if the number is positive or negative, the distance from zero on the number line will always be positive. So, the expression becomes \(\frac{-7}{7}\).
3Step 3: Simplify the Expression
Now divide -7 by 7. The result is -1. So, the expression \(\frac{-7}{|-7|}\) without absolute value bars is -1.
