ANSWER
5
EXPLANATION
We want to simplify:
[tex] |x + 3| [/tex]
when x=2.
We substitute x=2 into the absolute value expression to obtain:
[tex]|2 + 3| = |5| [/tex]
The about value of 5 means what is the distance of 5 from zero on the real number line.
[tex]|2 + 3| = |5| = 5[/tex]
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Actually, |x+3| is in simplest form.
However, this can be written as a 2-part function:
x + 3 for x > -3
-(x + 3) for x < -3.
If x = 2, then |x+3| equals |2+3| = 5
