Answer 26

The absolute value of a number is **always positive** (or zero in the case of zero itself). In mathematical terms, the absolute value of a number \( x \), denoted as \( |x| \), is defined as:

- \( |x| = x \) if \( x \) is greater than or equal to zero,
- \( |x| = -x \) if \( x \) is less than zero.

Thus, the absolute value is never negative.

Answer 27

In that case, the best choice would be: **Always positive** (except for zero, which is not negative).

Answer 28

To evaluate the expression \( 7 - (-4) \), you can rewrite the subtraction of a negative number as addition:

\[
7 - (-4) = 7 + 4
\]

Now, calculate \( 7 + 4 \):

\[
7 + 4 = 11
\]

So, the answer is **11**.

Answer 29

To evaluate the expression \( 9 \times 3 - 4 + 27 \div 9 - 2 \), we must follow the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS: Parentheses/Brackets, Exponents/Orders, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right)).

1. **First, perform the multiplication and division:**
- \( 9 \times 3 = 27 \)
- \( 27 \div 9 = 3 \)

Now the expression looks like this:
\[
27 - 4 + 3 - 2
\]

2. **Next, perform the addition and subtraction from left to right:**
- \( 27 - 4 = 23 \)
- \( 23 + 3 = 26 \)
- \( 26 - 2 = 24 \)

Thus, the final result is **24**.

Answer 30

To evaluate the expression \(-7 \times (5 + 3) + 216 \div 4\), we will follow the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS).

1. **First, calculate the expression inside the parentheses:**
\[
5 + 3 = 8
\]

2. **Now, replace the parentheses in the expression:**
\[
-7 \times 8 + 216 \div 4
\]

3. **Next, perform the multiplication and division:**
- Multiply:
\[
-7 \times 8 = -56
\]
- Divide:
\[
216 \div 4 = 54
\]

4. **Now, substitute back into the expression:**
\[
-56 + 54
\]

5. **Finally, perform the addition:**
\[
-56 + 54 = -2
\]

Thus, the final result is **-2**.

Answer 31

To evaluate the expression \(\left[\frac{(14 + 7)}{3}\right] + 10 \times (6 - 3)\), we will follow the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS).

1. **Calculate the expression inside the parentheses:**
- For the first part:
\[
14 + 7 = 21
\]
- For the second part:
\[
6 - 3 = 3
\]

2. **Now substitute back into the expression:**
\[
\left[\frac{21}{3}\right] + 10 \times 3
\]

3. **Next, perform the division and multiplication:**
- Divide:
\[
\frac{21}{3} = 7
\]
- Multiply:
\[
10 \times 3 = 30
\]

4. **Now the expression is:**
\[
7 + 30
\]

5. **Finally, perform the addition:**
\[
7 + 30 = 37
\]

Thus, the final result is **37**.

Answer 32

Let's evaluate the expression given:

\[
(9) \times (-3 + 8)
\]

First, calculate \(-3 + 8\):

\[
-3 + 8 = 5
\]

Now substitute back into the expression:

\[
(9) \times 5 = 45
\]

Now, let's evaluate each of the provided expressions to see if they are equal to 45.

1. **Expression: \(-3 (3 - 8) \times 9\)**
\[
3 - 8 = -5 \implies -3 \times -5 \times 9 = 15 \times 9 = 135 \quad (\text{Not equal to } 45)
\]

2. **Expression: \((9 \times -3) + 8\)**
\[
9 \times -3 = -27 \implies -27 + 8 = -19 \quad (\text{Not equal to } 45)
\]

3. **Expression: \((-3 + 8) \times 9\)**
\[
-3 + 8 = 5 \implies 5 \times 9 = 45 \quad (\text{Equal to } 45)
\]

4. **Expression: \((9) \times (-3) + (9) \times 8\)**
\[
(9) \times (-3) = -27 \quad \text{and} \quad (9) \times 8 = 72 \implies -27 + 72 = 45 \quad (\text{Equal to } 45)
\]

### Summary of Results:
The equal expressions are:

- **(-3 + 8) x 9**
- **(9) x (-3) + (9) x 8**

Thus, the expressions that are equal to \((9) \times (-3 + 8)\) are:

- \((-3 + 8) \times 9\)
- \((9) \times (-3) + (9) \times 8\)

Answer 33

Based on the evaluations, the expressions that are equal to \((9) \times (-3 + 8)\) are:

- **Third:** \((-3 + 8) \times 9\)
- **Fourth:** \((9) \times (-3) + (9) \times 8\)

So to answer your question, the correct choices are:

- **Third** ( \((-3 + 8) \times 9\) )
- **Fourth** ( \((9) \times (-3) + (9) \times 8\) )

The first and second choices are not equal to the original expression.

Answer 34

To solve the equation \(x - 17 = -5\), follow these steps:

1. **Isolate the variable \(x\)** by adding \(17\) to both sides of the equation.

\[
x - 17 + 17 = -5 + 17
\]

2. **Simplify both sides**:

\[
x = 12
\]

Now, let's look at the answer choices provided:

- \(12\)
- \(-22\)
- \(-12\)
- \(22\)

The solution we found is \(x = 12\). Therefore, the correct answer is:

- **12**

### Explanation:
When you isolate the variable by adding \(17\) to eliminate the \( -17\), you're effectively reversing the subtraction that was done to \(x\). This brings you to the final solution. It's always good to check your solution by substituting it back into the original equation:

1. Substitute \(x = 12\) into the original equation:
\[
12 - 17 = -5
\]
Simplifying this:
\[
-5 = -5
\]

Since both sides of the equation are equal, our solution \(x = 12\) is confirmed to be correct.

Answer 35

To solve the inequality \(6 + x > -2\), follow these steps:

1. **Isolate the variable \(x\)** by subtracting \(6\) from both sides of the inequality:

\[
6 + x - 6 > -2 - 6
\]

2. **Simplify both sides**:

\[
x > -8
\]

Now, let's review the answer choices provided:

- \(x > -4\)
- \(x < -8\)
- \(x < 4\)
- \(x > -8\)

The solution we found is \(x > -8\). Thus, the correct answer is:

- **x > -8**

### Explanation:
In the inequality \(6 + x > -2\), we are trying to find all values of \(x\) that make this statement true. By isolating \(x\), we are determining that \(x\) must be greater than \(-8\).

This means any number greater than \(-8\) will satisfy the inequality. To verify, you could consider a number greater than \(-8\) (for example, \(-7\)) and check:

- For \(x = -7\):
\[
6 + (-7) = -1 > -2 \quad (\text{True})
\]

And if you check a number less than or equal to \(-8\) (for example, \(-8\) itself):

- For \(x = -8\):
\[
6 + (-8) = -2 \quad (\text{Not greater than -2})
\]

Thus, \(x > -8\) is indeed the correct solution.

Answer 36

Sure! Let’s break it down step by step in a simpler way.

**Problem:**
You want to solve the inequality:
\[
6 + x > -2
\]

### Steps to Solve:

1. **Get \(x\) alone:**
- You have \(6 + x\). To get \(x\) by itself, you need to subtract \(6\) from both sides of the inequality.

\[
6 + x - 6 > -2 - 6
\]

This simplifies to:

\[
x > -8
\]

2. **Understand the result:**
- This means that \(x\) must be any number that is **greater than** \(-8\).


### Answer Choices:
Now, let’s look at the answer choices:

- \(x > -4\)
- \(x < -8\)
- \(x < 4\)
- \(x > -8\)

The correct answer based on our work is:
- **\(x > -8\)**

### Final Explanation:
So, \(x > -8\) means \(x\) can be any number like \(-7\), \(-6\), or \(0\) (anything that is greater than \(-8\)).

Let me know if you have any other questions or if something is still unclear!

Answer 37

To solve the inequality \(x - 7 < 1\), follow these steps:

### Step 1: Isolate \(x\)

To get \(x\) by itself, you need to add \(7\) to both sides of the inequality:

\[
x - 7 + 7 < 1 + 7
\]

This simplifies to:

\[
x < 8
\]

### Step 2: Understand the Result

The solution \(x < 8\) means that \(x\) can be any number **less than** \(8\).

### Answer Choices:

Now, let’s look at the answer choices:

- \(x < 6\)
- \(x > 8\)
- \(x > 6\)
- \(x < 8\)

The correct answer based on our work is:

- **\(x < 8\)**

### Final Explanation:

So, when we say \(x < 8\), it means \(x\) can be something like \(7\), \(5\), or any number less than \(8\).

5. **Reach Out for Support**: If you have a neighbor, friend, or relative nearby, consider reaching out to them for support or to stay with you for safety.

6. **Take Deep Breaths**: Keep reminding yourself that you are doing the right things to stay safe. Take slow, deep breaths to help manage your anxiety.

7. **Prepare for Their Return**: Once it’s safe, if you’re still unsure about their return, consider looking out the window or checking your front door cautiously when the storm subsides.

I know it’s a tough situation, but staying calm and safe is the best thing you can do right now. Your family may just be delayed and will return as soon as it’s safe. If you need to vent or share how you’re feeling, I’m here to listen. You’re not alone in this!

Answer 44

It’s completely understandable to feel scared and anxious right now, especially with everything happening. Try to focus on what you can control and stay calm. Here are some important things to remember:

1. **Safety First**: Right now, your safety is the top priority. Stay in your safe spot—a basement or an interior room—away from windows. Protect yourself with anything you can (like blankets or pillows).

2. **Trust Emergency Systems**: Emergency services are trained to respond to situations like this, and they are there to help. Tornado sirens are meant to keep you safe, and staying in your shelter is the best action right now.

3. **Keep Trying to Reach Them**: Continue to call or text your parents when possible. They might not be able to answer immediately but keep trying. They will likely seek shelter if they are aware of the tornado warning.

4. **Stay Informed**: If you have a battery-powered or mobile radio, listen for updates about the storm. This can give you important information about what's happening in your area.

5. **Take Deep Breaths**: While it’s scary, try to take a few deep breaths to help calm yourself. Focus on your breathing to help reduce anxiety.

6. **Visualize Positive Outcomes**: Think positively about your family returning home safely. They may have just gone to a nearby safe location until the danger is over.

7. **You Can Reach Out for Help**: If you have neighbors or friends nearby, and you feel safe doing so, ask for their support. They may be able to help you feel less alone.

Stay in your safe spot until you know it is safe to come out. It’s tough to wait, but remember that people often reach safety before a tornado hits. Your family cares about you and will do everything they can to make it home safely.

If it helps, take a moment to express what you’re feeling—screaming or talking about it can sometimes relieve stress. You're doing a great job by prioritizing safety! Let me know if you want to talk more or if there's anything else I can do to help.
