z is an absolute value, so no matter what value you put in for z, it will be positive. 
So B & C would both work. Do you understand why?

Thank you! I have no idea why though .-.

okay so you understand that the lines that z is in is an absolute value. So no matter what number you put into those line, negative or positive, it will always come out positive. (unless you have a negative sign outside of the lines).

put -6 in for z. it will come out as 6. Is 6 less than or equal to 5?
