4-97. Use absolute value to write an expression doscribing the sise of each - An elevation of 250 feek. a. A crolit card balance of \( \$ 23.75 \). b. A football player rushed for -5 yands. c. A bank balance of \( \$ 198.32 \). d. An elevation of Death Valley of \( -\$ 6 \mathrm{~m} \).

When describing the size of elevations and balances with absolute values, it's all about taking the numeric distance from zero, ignoring any negative signs. a. For an elevation of 250 feet, the absolute value expression is \( |250| \), which simply equals 250 feet. b. A credit card balance of \( -\$ 23.75 \) translates to the absolute value \( |-23.75| \), which is \( \$ 23.75 \). c. The expression for a football player who rushed for -5 yards is \( |-5| \), resulting in 5 yards. d. Finally, the bank balance of \( -\$ 198.32 \) is expressed as \( |-198.32| \), giving \( \$ 198.32 \), and the elevation of Death Valley at \( -6 \mathrm{~m} \) is \( |-6| \), which indicates a size of 6 meters below sea level.
