Answer:
15
Step-by-step explanation:
Change x to the declared value: [tex]5|6-9|[/tex]
Subtract: [tex]5|6-9| = 5|-3|[/tex]
NOTE: remember that little minus big = negative of big minus little.
i.e.: 6-9 = -(9-6) = -(3) = -3
Evaluate the Absolute Value: [tex]5|-3| = 5(3)[/tex]
NOTE: remember that the absolute value of a number = the number's distance from 0 (always a positive number).
i.e.: |-2| = 2; |5| = 5
Multiply: [tex]5(3) = 15[/tex]
