Answer :
A number with an absolute value of 42 was divided by a number with an absolute value of 7. The quotient is -6. Write two possible numeric equations
Let
x,the number
y, the other number
[tex]\begin{gathered} \left|x\right|=42 \\ \left|y\right|=7 \\ \frac{\left|x\right|}{\left|y\right|}=-6 \end{gathered}[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} \left|x\right|=x,\text{ if x}\ge0\text{ and , } \\ \left|x\right|=-x\text{ if x}<0 \\ and \\ \left|y\right|=\text{ y if y }\ge0 \\ \left|y\right|=-\text{y if y}<0 \end{gathered}[/tex]step 2, write the equations
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{x}{y}=-6\text{, if x}>0\text{ and y}<0 \\ \frac{x}{y}=\text{ -6, if x}<0\text{ and y}>0 \end{gathered}[/tex]and that's all, it is the answer
