Question

Only pick one

which inequality is true?
a. |-15|>|-19|
b.|-16|<|13|
c.|-15|>|12|
d.|12|<|-8|
e.|-19|>|-20|

​

Answer 1

Explanation:

the answer is C |-15|>|12|

Answer 2

C

Explanation:

Absolute value makes anything in it positive, as distance from 0 can only be positive. So if we apply that to every term, we can find the answer.

For a, simplify and it becomes 15>19. That's false

For b, simplify and it becomes 16<13. Also false

For c, simplify and it becomes 15>12. True

For d, simplify and it becomes 12<8. False

For e, simplify and it becomes 19>20. Very False.

So the only true one is C. So C is the answer.

Hope this helped.
