Question

Is this true or false |-2.9|> 2.6​

Answer 1

Hello! :)

I will start by explaining what the l l notation means.

It means "absolute value" or a number's distance from zero.

Absolute value is always positive. Remember this:

lal=a

l-al=a

Now, using this, let's solve our math problem.

l-2.9l>2.6

2.9>2.6

Is this statement true? Is 2.9 greater than 2.6? Yes, it is. Therefore, the statement is true.

Hope it helps.

Feel free to ask me if you have any questions.

Answer 2

True

Explanation:

The absolute value of -2.9 is 2.9.

So 2.9>2.6

Remember, the absolute value of a number is always nonnegative (positive or zero). If a number is negative, negating that number will make it positive.
