An airplane flies 2700 miles to los angeles to nyc. when the plane flies back to la, is it flying in a negative direction? use absolute value to justify the answer

Distance = abs(-1700)

Distance = 1700 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

NYC is located East of Los Angels.

The Airplane flies from Los Angeles to the left direction from NYC.

Which is negative direction.

Therefore, distance = -1700

Here the distance cannot be negative even though if it flies in negative direction.

Therefore, we use the absolute value.

The absolute value of a number is always positive.

So, distace = abs( -1700)

Distance = 1700 miles.

Hope this will help you understand the concept.

Thank you.

4 candies

step-by-step explanation:

7 x 28 = 196

200 - 196 = 4 candies remaining.

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: solve one of the equations for one of the variables. let's solve the first equation for y:

step 2: substitute that equation into the other equation, and solve for x.

step 3: substitute x = 4 x = 4 x=4 into one of the original equations, and solve for y.
