OpenStudy (gigi1103):

OpenStudy (misty1212):

the absolute value is always positive, so \(|-4|=4\) the first one would say \(4<4\) which is NOT true

OpenStudy (gigi1103):

OpenStudy (misty1212):

the second one says \(1<0\) and that is also NOT true

OpenStudy (misty1212):

the third one says \(6=-6\) also NOT true

OpenStudy (misty1212):
