Please check my answers, already did the work just need them to be checked if I got them or need to fix one.

2 is right, but not 1 and 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

The absolute value means to take the "positive" version.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

So, |-6|=6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So I just need to fix 1 & 3

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

I have only checked 1, 2, and 3 so far

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh ok.

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

4, 5, and 6 are right :-)

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

7 and 8 are right :-)

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

So, for 3, subtracting a negative is the same as adding.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry froze. But for 3 I checked and I meant to put positive 15

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Awesome :-) Any thoughts on 1, then?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Uh, either A or B?

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

No, that's not what I get. Remember that |-6|=6

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

So we are ordering -3, -8, 6, 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right. But still a little stuck sorry

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

It's cool. So, from least to greatest of the list I just gave -8,-3,2,6

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

But we got 6 from |-6|

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

So, -8, -3, 2, |-6|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

rights, so we start with the negatives

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Yeah, they are the smallest.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

gotcha! Thanks can you check two more if that's not two much?

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Yep, looks good.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

These are in my own words btw.

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Ok, cool. The only thing I would change is that you didn't mention what would happen if you divide two negatives.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So add, once you divide them, you get a positive? @JoannaBlackwelder

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Yeah, something like that :-) Or you could use the same sign/different sign idea you used for multiplication

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay thanks so much, way nicer than one of the matheletes :)

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

You're welcome :-)

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Sorry, some people on here can get kinda cranky, haha!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Omg yes, lol thanks again. I'm going to go search around to see if I can help someone.

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Sounds good. Happy studies :-)
