Answer 1

Answer:5 and -5

Explanation:

There's not really any steps but absolute value is the number of spaces a numerical value is from 0 so 5 is 5 spaces away and -5 is also 5 spaces away -3 is 3 spaces away and 8 is 8 spaces away.

Answer 2

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.
