how is it b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

B is correct ^^ You must take the whole value of a number (the number inside the l l is always positive.

OpenStudy (black_ninja123):

| means absolute value

positive 2 is greater than 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|-2|>|1| is right because |#| means no matter what the number is going to be positive so |-2| really means 2, when you work out the absolute value of -2 and 1 and place it back in the equation its going to be 2>1 adn 2 is greater then 1
