Question

Bernita and Derek each plot a number on a number line. The numbers are unique but have the same absolute value. The sum of the absolute values of the numbers is 150. What are the two numbers?

0 and 150
–75 and 75
–150 and 150
–300 and 300

Answer 1

My answer is B. -75 and 75.

Absolute value means the positive value of a number. Absolute value of -75 is 75. Absolute value of 75 is 75.

75 + 75 = 150.

Choice a. -0 and 150 is not correct. This is because a 0 cannot have a negative value.

The answer is 75 and 75
