Aaron is playing a game in which he earns points for a correct answer and loses the same number of points for an incorrect answer. Aaron has zero points. The next question is worth 300 points. Aaron says "It doesn't matter whether I get the answer right or wrong, the absolute value of my score will be 300." Do you agree? Why or why not?

Answer:

You should agree.

Explanation:

The absolute value if by definition "the magnitude of a real number without regard to its sign" this means if he earns 300 points on the next question. Yes Aaron's absolute value of points would be 300.
