Simplify by writing the expression without absolute value bars |x+7| for x>-7

0

Step-by-step explanation:

|x+7| x=-7

First replace x with - 7.

|-7+7|

Then, remove the absolute value bars

-7+7

Next, add. Different sign; subtract keep the sign of the larger number

0

x+7

Step-by-step explanation:

If x is always greater than - 7, then the value of the equation will always be positive, rendering the absolute value bars obsolete. Observe:

If x = - 6, - 6 + 7 = 1. With or without absolute value, this equals 1.

If x = 2, 2 + 7 = 9.

If x = 9, 9 + 7 = 16.

And so on and so forth.
