Question

Which two numbers of the given data set have the same absolute value? Explain your answer in full sentences.

-5, 5, -3, 8
pls help. ;)

Answer 1

Answer: the two numbers that have the same absolute value is -5, and 5.

Explanation:

Absolute will just make any negatives to positive.

So, the absolute value of -5 is 5, or the absolute value of -3, is 3.

If it's already positive, then nothing happens; it stays the same

So, the absolute value of 8 is 8, nothing is changed.

Answer 2

The answer is -5 and 5 because when you do absolute value if there is a negative number then it turns into a positive number. Negatives will always turn out as positives when doing absolute value. :)
