Q. Solve for d.−3∣d∣=0Write your answers in simplest form.
Isolate absolute value term: Isolate the absolute value term.We start by isolating the absolute value term on one side of the equation. Since the equation is already in the form –3∣d∣=0, we can proceed to the next step.
Divide by −3: Divide both sides of the equation by −3 to solve for ∣d∣. We divide both sides of the equation by −3 to get ∣d∣ by itself. −3∣d∣/−3=0/−3∣d∣=0
Determine value of d: Determine the value of d. Since the absolute value of any number is non-negative, the only number whose absolute value is 0 is 0 itself. Therefore, d must be 0. ∣d∣=0 implies d=0 There is no negative counterpart since 0 is its own negative.
