Select the location of BOTH numbers on the number line

Answer 1

To find Which two numbers on the number line has an

absolute value of 3

Absolute value means " how far a number is from

zero " .

"3" is 3 away from zero .

and " -3 " is also 3 away from zero .

i.e

| 0 - 3 | = 3

| 3 - 0 | = 3

So , the absolute value of "3 " is 3

similarly , absolute value of "3 " is 3 .

Hence , the two numbers are -3 and 3
