Rewrite each expression without absolute value bars. |12 - π|

Guida verificata passo dopo passo

Recall that the absolute value of a number $x$, denoted $|x|$, is defined as $x$ if $x \geq 0$, and $-x$ if $x < 0$.

Identify the expression inside the absolute value bars: $12 - \pi$.

Determine whether $12 - \pi$ is positive or negative by comparing the values of 12 and $\pi$ (approximately 3.14).

Since $12 - \pi$ is positive (because 12 is greater than $\pi$), the absolute value expression $|12 - \pi|$ is equal to $12 - \pi$ without the absolute value bars.

Therefore, rewrite $|12 - \pi|$ as $12 - \pi$.

Absolute Value Definition

The absolute value of a number represents its distance from zero on the number line, always as a non-negative value. For any real number x, |x| equals x if x is positive or zero, and -x if x is negative.
