Question

Which set of absolute values is compared correctly?

a. |-10| < |-5| < |17| < |5|
b. |-5| > |-10| > |-12| > |17|
c. |10| > |-15| > |-5| > |2|
d. |-10| < |12| < |-15| < |17|

Answer 1

It would be D. because absolute value is just turning a negative into a positive
10 has less value than 12 and 12 has less value than 15 and 15 has less value than 17

Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

The correct answer is D.

Because after removing the absolute values, we are left with:
10< 12 < 15 < 17

Hope that helped :D
