Question

Order the values from least to greatest -12,|-26|,|-15|,|-12|,|10|

Answer 1

All things in absolute value bars become positive. Thus,

-12, |10|, |-12|, |-15|, |-26|

because it becomes

-12,10,12,15,26

Hope it helps!

Answer 2

-12, 10, |-12|, |-15|, |-26|

Explanation:

If a negative number has the "|" around it, it's the opposite of that number. Not the same with a positive number with "|" around it.

Ex.

|-12| = 12

|12| = 12
