OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which statement is true? A. |–12| = –12 B. |–4| < 3 C. |–5| > 0 D. |–8| < |8|

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Do you know what the absolute value means?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, I think the answer is D.

OpenStudy (just_one_last_goodbye):

Thats wrong ^_^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then A.

OpenStudy (just_one_last_goodbye):

that -8 is converted into positive 8 making it equal =

OpenStudy (just_one_last_goodbye):

Again A is wrong because -12 is converted into positive 12 and your saying 12 = -12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It would be C.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

@flowercrownmgc What is |-12| = ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

12

OpenStudy (just_one_last_goodbye):

You are correct Flower ^_^ answer is C

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Good. Then look at A. |–12| = –12 12 = -12 is false, so A cannot be it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I get it. thank you! (^.^)

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

B. |–4| < 3 Since |-4| = 4, we have: 4 < 3 This is false.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

C. |–5| > 0 5 > 0 True

OpenStudy (just_one_last_goodbye):

MAth I already explained it all :/

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

D. |–8| < |8| 8 < 8 False

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

The only true statement is C.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):
