Answer 2

Hello!

These | | you are seeing means absolute value. Absolute value is the distance a number is from 0. For example, the absolute value of -3, or |-3|, would be 3 as -3 is 3 away from 0.

Therefore, we can look at these two operations. |-12|, and |8|

|-12| would equal 12, as -12 is 12 away from 0. |8| would equal 8, as 8 is 8 away from 0. 12 is greater than 8.

Therefore, your answer is the second choice, |-12|>|8|.

Hope this helps!
