choices

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-9 0 0.9 9

OpenStudy (jlg030597):

Its easy 9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I meant -9 not regular 9

OpenStudy (jlg030597):

when the number has no negative on the inside or outside its postive and stays the same if it has a negative on the outside its negative and stays the same if its negative on the inside its postive I think

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

|number| means to remove the negative sign on the number if it has one

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

Therefore |-4| would be 4 and |-1.25| would be 1.25

OpenStudy (jlg030597):

Oh then wait yah so still got it right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the answer would be 9 when it come out because it would be oppisite of the negitive

OpenStudy (jlg030597):

yah lol unless negative sign is outside the two lines

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It makes sense now.

OpenStudy (jlg030597):
