Question

Jackey, the dog, walks 7 steps on right side of zero (0) on the number line and then 9 steps backwards

What is the absolute value of his current position on the number line?

Answer 1

Jacky moves 7 units on the right side of zero (0) and moves 9 steps backwards. This means that he moves in the left direction by 9 units, which ends up at -2.

So, the absolute value of -2 is 2.
