Question

Can two different numbers have the same absolute value? If yes, give an example. If no, explain why not

Answer 1

If u wanna go by a technical term then yes, it can. The positive and negative side of a number. 4 example, -5. It's absolute value is 5. Positive 5's absolute value is 5 as well.

Now if u don't wanna be technical and don't want to use negative numbers, then no, it cannot.

Answer 2

Yes, two different numbers have the same absolute value

Explanation:

We are given that two different numbers

We have to tell that two different numbers can have same absolute value or not .

Absolute value of any number :

If a number x then its absolute value

`\mid x\mid`

Suppose we have -2 and 2

Absolute value of 2 is given by

`\mid 2\mid =2`

Absolute value of -2

`\mid {-2}\mid =2`

Hence, both numbers have same absolute value .

Then we can say that two numbers can have same absolute value.
