Answer:

5 and -5

Explanation:

We are given that -5,5,-3 and 8.

We have to find that which two numbers of the given data have same absolute value.

We now that absolute value of any number x is given by
\mid x\mid

Let a number -2 then its absolute value


\mid -2\mid=2

Absolute value of 5=
\mid 5\mid =5

Absolute value of -5=
\mid -5\mid =5

Absolute value of -3=
\mid -3\mid=3

Absolute value of 8=
\mid 8\mid =8

We can see that absolute value of and -5 are same .

Hence, 5 and -5 have same absolute value.
