it says to choose all, you have another expression that is = to -9

anonymous · Answer

it means the only one's that apply ..

ivettef365 · Answer

you have more than one expression

ivettef365 · Answer

because - [-9] is also equal to -9

anonymous · Answer

It's "C" and "D" because anything with the absolute value sign becomes positive, so the inclusion of the negative sign makes the whole expression negative.

|9|   =   |-9|

"B" doesn't work because a double negative is a positive.

"A" doesn't work because anything that has | | put around it becomes positive.
