Question

question 1
what does the absolute value of the equation \\(|2x| = 4\\) mean?
(fill in the blank with the integer that makes the statement true)
the product of a number and 2 is \\(\square\\) units away from \\(\square\\) on a number line.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall absolute value definition

The absolute value $|A| = b$ means $A$ is $b$ units from 0 on a number line.

Step2: Match to given equation

For $|2x| = 4$, $A=2x$ (product of $x$ and 2), $b=4$. So $2x$ is 4 units from 0.

Answer:

The product of a number and 2 is $\boldsymbol{4}$ units away from $\boldsymbol{0}$ on a number line.
