Question

Which list below contains numbers that would make the following statement true: |-5|

Answer 1

First let's calculate the absolute value of -5 (that is, |-5|).

The absolute value is just the positive number, so |-5| = 5

Then, looking at the options, the only option that shows only numbers greater than 5 (that is, |-5| < x) is the option C, where we have 7, 10 and 15 (remember that |-7| = 7).

The other options shows some numbers that are lesser than or equal 5.
