True

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

whatever is inside the absolute value is always positive

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i know if it was -|-9| that'd be true but im confused on how it's true.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alright thankyou.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If the problem was |-9| then its ans would be 9 but since negative sign is outside of mod sign therefore its value will be -9

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

is true because {-9} = 9 but since you have a (-) sign outside multiply (-) (9)

Okay i see now.
