Question

Please help plz plz plz Which statements are true?

Select each correct answer.


A Since −6 is 6 units to the left of 0, |−6|=6
.
B absolute value of −6 is less than the absolute value of 6.
​
C −6 is closer to zero on the number line than ​ −7 ​ , so |−6|<|−7|
.
D The absolute value of −6 is negative.

Answer 1

A) true because |-6| = 6

C) true because |-6|=6, |-7|=7 and 6<7

Step-by-step explanation

Absolute values ignore the negative sign

so |-6| = 6

Answer 2

A true because -6 is 6 units to 0

B not true because -6 and 6 have the same absolute value

C true because 6<7

D not true because absolute values are never negative

Explanation:

Absolute value is always positive and it about the number of units to zero regardless of if its negative or positive. If you are at -5 it takes 5 real steps to get to 0 do we say |-5| = 5 (steps). and |5| = 5, which is the same.

so we can basically ignore negative signs inside the | |

|-10| = 10

|45| = 45
