Q. Solve for ss.\newline0=5s0 = 5|s|\newlineWrite your answers as integers or as proper or improper fractions in simplest form.\newlines=s = _____ or s=s = _____
  1. Find s|s| Value: 0=5s0 = 5|s| \newlineFind the value of s|s|. \newlineDivide both sides by 55. \newline0/5=(5s)/50 / 5 = (5|s|) / 5 \newline0=s0 = |s| \newlines=0|s| = 0
  2. Solve for ss: s=0|s| = 0 \newlineFind the values of ss.\newlineIf x=a|x| = a, then x=ax = a and x=ax = -a. \newlineHowever, since s=0|s| = 0, the only value that ss can be is 00 itself, because the absolute value of any number other than zero is always positive.\newlineValues of ss: 00 and 00 (which is essentially just 00, as s=0|s| = 033 is the same as 00).
