What is the value of this |– 8| =

8

Step-by-step explanation:

The absolute value |#| means how far it is away from zero. In this sense, you read from right to left. 8 - 0 and 0 - (-8)

As such 0 - (-8) is zero

Therefore, the absolute value of any number is itself but positive

In conclusion

| 8 | = 8

AND (your problem)

| -8 | = 8

first, we define the variables:

x: number of years after 1950

f (x): amount of vinyl sold.

then, with the variables defined, we have:

68594 vinyl records were sold in 1958 > f (8) = 68594

91299 vinyl records were sold in 1961 > f (11) = 91299

38720 vinyl records were sold in 1952 > f (2) = 38720

161743 vinyl records were sold in 1967 > f (17) = 161743
