OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (dmndlife24):

It's not C. because that would mean 6 = -6 which is a false statement

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So b?

OpenStudy (rainbow_rocks03):

I need help o something else.

OpenStudy (dmndlife24):

It's not B. either because 0 is NOT greater than 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But its negative 1

OpenStudy (dmndlife24):

It's absolute value signs around the (-1) which is a positive 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh so C

OpenStudy (dmndlife24):

No...that answer is D. |–14| > 10 The absolute value sings that surround the -14 change it to a positive 14...this means that 14 > 10 which is a true statement and therefore our answer
