Absolute Value for 6th Grade | Learn how to solve absolute value equations
Do you know how to figure out the absolute value of a number? In this video, you'll learn just that. It can be a tricky concept at first, but once you get it, it's super easy! Absolute value is basically determined by its distance from zero on a number line. And every single number has one except for zero, since zero is value-less.
Absolute values are written in two straight lines. For comparison, other expressions are in brackets or parentheses. But those two straight lines means absolute value. In addition, the placement of the negative sign is very important. If the negative symbol is inside the absolutely value lines, the you are figuring out the absolute value of a negative number. For instance, the absolute value of -5 is 5 because -5 is five away from zero.
On the other hand, if the negative sign is outside the absolute value lines, then you need to add it after you figure out the absolute value expression. For instance, –|6| is –6. Here's a trickier one: The expression – |7 – 9| becomes – |–2|, which becomes –|2|, which is –2. Watch the video for more examples, and to learn how you can apply absolute value in real life.
