Question

Order the values from least to greatest.

30. 8,|3|, -5,1 -2], -2
32. – 12,1-26], -15,|-12, 10|

Answer 1

`-12, -2,|-2|, |3|, |-5|, 8, |10|, |-12|, |-15|, |-26|`

Explanation:

We can start with -12

Because this is in the negatives

Along with -2

so:

-12, -2

We then put |-2| because when the |x| are around a number, it makes the number in the bars always positive. Therefore:

-12, -2, |-2|

The same goes for |3|:

-12, -2, |-2|, |3|

Same for |-5|:

-12, -2, |-2|, |3|, |-5|

8 will go next:

-12, -2, |-2|, |3|, |-5|, 8

|10| is positive, and next:

-12, -2, |-2|, |3|, |-5|, 8, |10|

Same for |-12|:

-12, -2, |-2|, |3|, |-5|, 8, |10|, |-12|

Same for |-15|:

-12, -2, |-2|, |3|, |-5|, 8, |10|, |-12|, |-15|

Same for |-26|:

-12, -2, |-2|, |3|, |-5|, 8, |10|, |-12|, |-15|, |-26|

Answer 2

30. -5,-2,|-2|,|3|,8

32. -12,|10|, |-12|,|-15|,|-26|
