jabez177 (jabez177):

How do I explain this without giving out the answer? D:

OpenStudy (thewafflebro):

xDDDDDDD

jabez177 (jabez177):

They're too easy...

jabez177 (jabez177):

Look at A. Does that look least to greatest? Set it up again.

OpenStudy (thewafflebro):

okay let me see

OpenStudy (thewafflebro):

nope

jabez177 (jabez177):

You sure?

jabez177 (jabez177):

If so then let's move on to B. Does it look like it is in order from least to greatest?

OpenStudy (thewafflebro):

wait its a

jabez177 (jabez177):

Correct!! :)

OpenStudy (thewafflebro):

i got confused xDDDD

OpenStudy (sophiab):

It's C because negative number like -3 and -6 are different than positive. -3 is greater than -6

OpenStudy (sophiab):

wait what how would it be A lol?

OpenStudy (thewafflebro):

its a

jabez177 (jabez177):

C is incorrect. C. -3, 2, 0, 5 Is that in correct order from least to greatest? :/

OpenStudy (sophiab):

-3, -2, 0, 5 is what I read

OpenStudy (thewafflebro):

jabez so its a right

jabez177 (jabez177):

|-2| is basically positive 2

OpenStudy (thewafflebro):

wait jabez i think its not a becuz its /-4/ so its positive

OpenStudy (sophiab):

-2 is different from positive 2

jabez177 (jabez177):

I don't know. Do you think it's A? Can you try and set it up without the absolute values?

OpenStudy (thewafflebro):

just give answer im confused

jabez177 (jabez177):

@sophiab, That is Absolute value -2 Anything in absolute value is always going to be positive. There is never a negative.

jabez177 (jabez177):

I can't give the answer. Try and set it up differently to see why you chose A and not B.

OpenStudy (thewafflebro):

im confused

OpenStudy (sophiab):

ok then lets just wait and see

jabez177 (jabez177):

Let's start over... Are -8 and |-8| the same? That is the first thing you need to know.
