Answer 2

say the absolute value of -2 is 2

Answer 3

Answer 4

yep. now try to evaluate the choices

Answer 5

absolute simply implies the distance of a number from zero. so it must have a positive implication to negative numbers

Answer 6

I think its c.

Answer 7

or b.

Answer 8

now for c, the absolute value of -7 is 7 right? since the other -7 at the right is not enclosed in an absolute value symbol then it remains -7.. that'll make 7=-7 which is practically wrong. so b it is
