OpenStudy (anonymous):

come onn

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I cant read that , its just a bunch on question marks for me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which list of values is ordered from least to greatest?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A. |–6|, 0, 2, –|–5|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A. |–6|, 0, 2, –|–5|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

come onn!

OpenStudy (mustap):

you're only writing a bunch of error question marks.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no im not!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why would i do that when i need help!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@mustap its really an error with open study, shes not typing them it just means that the stuf she is typing won't display

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A. |–6|, 0, 2, –|–5|

OpenStudy (mustap):

sorry thats what I meant

OpenStudy (mustap):

It's C –9, –|–2|, 0, |9|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

/im going to open a new question instead

OpenStudy (mustap):

Thats a good idea

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but its have questions marks how did you know?

OpenStudy (mustap):

When I reload the page it shows up fine for a few seconds before turning into question marks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok

OpenStudy (mustap):

@ilikemath50 How is it D?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

l-10l mean10+ i thought

OpenStudy (mustap):

–9, –|–2|, 0, |9| is the same thing as -9, -2, 0, 9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then d is right?

OpenStudy (mustap):

|–10|, –|–4|, 1, |–7| is the same thing as 10, -4, 1, 7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i just dpnt get -l4-l

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2 negavies makes a positve?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

negatives*

OpenStudy (mustap):

|-4|=4 but -|-4|= -4

OpenStudy (mustap):

the absolute value lines on both sides of the number get rid of the negative sign in side the lines

OpenStudy (mustap):

then the negative sign outside makes it negative again

OpenStudy (anonymous):

to do this, you need to fully understand the concept of negative numbers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but is it c or d

OpenStudy (anonymous):

tell me, which number is bigger? -5 or -2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2-

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay good, now let's practice the absolute values Why would |-5| have two solutions?

OpenStudy (mustap):

put the negative sign before the number so -2 not 2-

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y=uhh/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-5 5+

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|-5| They are asking you what the distance is from 0 to 5. Note: Notice how i put 5 and not -5? That is because there are SOMETIMES two solutions to these. What is |-5|?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In other words, the absolute value of negative five?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so d is wrong?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya d is right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nvm c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

...

OpenStudy (mustap):

yeah you got it right C is the right answer. I hope you understand absolute values better now.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea
