Question

All of the following are equal except

a)-|5|
b)-|-5|
c)|-5|
d) the opposite of 5

Answer 1

The answer is C. Having a value inside the absolute value bars will make the number positive (|-14| = 14, |6| = 6), but it doesn’t affect the operations outside of it. A,B, and D are all -5, while C is 5.

Answer 2

I’m pretty sure the answer is C
