Which values satisfy the inequality? lxl <3 Choose ALL answers that are correct. A. x= -6 B. x= -5 C. x= -1 D. x= 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no A is not one of them

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (eric_d):

@iGreen

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because its the absolute value of -6 which would be 6 6 is not less than 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am confussed lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

C and D are the correct answers

OpenStudy (igreen):

Only D is correct.

OpenStudy (eric_d):

D

OpenStudy (eric_d):

Like I said earlier

OpenStudy (igreen):

The Absolute sign says that x is POSITIVE. All the other answers are negative.

myininaya (myininaya):

OpenStudy (eric_d):

|dw:1410444717272:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes but x can be a negative number...you just take the absolute value of it which is positive.

OpenStudy (igreen):

@myininaya Yes, but it's not an Option.

myininaya (myininaya):

yes it is

OpenStudy (igreen):

That's -1, @myininaya

myininaya (myininaya):

x does not have to be positive

geerky42 (geerky42):

|-1| = 1...

myininaya (myininaya):

and the |-1| is?

myininaya (myininaya):

and 1<3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats what I was saying @geerky42 -1 is also correct

OpenStudy (igreen):

@ganeshie8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Just got the results back I failed this question cuz the answer was D and C not just D

geerky42 (geerky42):

Absolute value turns all negative number into positive, doesn't do anything if number is already positive.

myininaya (myininaya):

@Lindsay_552 It is D and C
