I'm sorry I've been looking at them ,but i'm not sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think i got it since the higher the negative the less it is but thanks anyways

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the answer is C because its least to greatest

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ah I see, I was guessing C too but I didn't want to give a false answer :c

@kcjkitten are you sure? what is the value of `|-2|` ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it may be higher than -3 but it is less then 0 and 5 so yes i'm sure

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

|-2| = 2, agreed?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait so would it be a or c?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

`–|3|, |–2|, 0, 5` would be the same as `-3,2,0,5` since -|3| = -3 |-2| = 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope it was actually B because of the seven and a negative x a negative = a positive
