Explain a situation when the absolute value of a number might be negative. Explain using examples, relevant details, and supporting evidence. RACE Format Its for a CRQ

The absolute value of any number is never negative. Absolute value represents distance, and negative distance is not possible (it doesn't make any sense to have a negative distance). Specifically, it is the distance from the given number to 0 on the number line.

The result of an absolute value is either 0 or positive.

Examples:

| -22 | = 22

| -1.7 | = 1.7

| 35 | = 35

The vertical bars surrounding the numbers are absolute value bars

the simplified form is

step-by-step explanation:

we want to simplify the expression,

let us change the middle bar to a normal division sign to obtain,

we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction to obtain,

we factor to obtain,

we cancel the common factors to get,

we simplify to get,

the correct answer is b

you didn't give me the choices, so i will just give you the graph so you can look at your choices and choose the right one.
