rewrite each of the following expressions without using absolute value.
1) |4r−12| , if r< 3
2)|7m–56| , if m< 8
3)|z−7|−|z−9| , if z< 7?

1  4(3-r)  or  12-4r

2.  7( 8-m) or 56-7m

3.   -2

Step-by-step explanation:

1) |4r−12| , if r<3

|4r-12|

Factor out a 4

4|r-3|

|r-3| will be less than 0 since r is less than 3

So we can rewrite it as 3-r to remove the absolute value signs and make it positive

4 (3-r)

12 -4r

2.   |7m–56| , if m<8

Factor out a 7

7| m-8|  

|m-8| will be less than 0 since m is less than 8

So we can rewrite it as  8-m to remove the absolute value signs and make it positive

7( 8-m)

56-8m

3) |z−7|−|z−9| , if z<7

|z-7| will be less than 0 since z is less than 7  and |z-9| will be less than 0 since z is less than 7

So we can rewrite it as  7-z  and 9-z to remove the absolute value signs and make it positive

7-z - (9-z)

Distribute the minus sign

7-z-9+z

-2

is there supposed to be a picture here?
