Use absolute value to express the distance between −10 and 16 on the number line.

26

Step-by-step explanation:

From -10 to 0 will be 10

1 to 16 are 16

Step-by-step explanation:

There are several things you need to know in order to write the absolute value equation for a situation. First is how to formulate what you need. The absolute value equation follows the formatting:

| x - midpoint | = the distance between the midpoint and one of the endpoints.

That means we also need to be able to find the midpoint of -10 and 16. Finding the midpoint is finding the middle, which is the same as finding an average of the 2 numbers.

So the midpoint is 3. The distance between 3 and either one of the endpoints is going to be the same, by definition of the midpoint of the 2 numbers. The distance between 3 and 16 is 13 units. The distance between 3 and -10 is also 13 units. So, to put this into an absolute value equation,

| x - 3 | = 13

Chlorofluorocarbon.

Explanation:

Chlorofluorocarbon is the chemical compound that is responsible for the thinning of ozone layer present in the stratosphere. This Chlorofluorocarbon is used in the refrigerators and aerosol sprays. The major environmental consequence of the depletion of stratospheric ozone is the melting of glaciers in the Antarctica. It also has adverse effect on humans because it is responsible for the skin cancer disease in humans. Breathing ground-level ozone can trigger a variety of health problems such as chest pain, coughing, throat irritation, and congestion.
