Question

Choose the answer replace ? with >,<, or = to make the statement true: "I-8I ? I8I"

Answer 1

Replacing the ? with = would make this statement true.

Explanation:

First, we know by those symbols around the different 8's, that we want the absolute value. Remember, the absolute value is always positive, and is the distance on the number line that the number is from zero.

So basically, both of them have an absolute value of 8. Does 8 equal 8? Yes, so the answer to this statement is =.
