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

-5,5,-3,8
I think 5 and -5 have the same absolute value. I think that because 5 has an absolute value of -5 and -5 has an absolute value of 5.

Was that good I wasn’t really sure of how to explain.

I agree somewhat. However, 5 does not have an absolute value of -5.

From Google:

An absolute value of a number is a number's distance from 0. An absolute value number will always be a positive number because distance from 0 must always be positive.

Write not right

Your explanation is right, except for the need to eliminate one negative sign. To show that you are dealing with an absolute value, indicate it like this "|5|".

We are not all the same. -5 and 5 have the same absolute value, which is indicated on a computer by |5|. I hope this clears things up for you.

Is this ok?

5 and -5 because they have the same absolute value. I know that because 5 has the absolute value of |5| and |5| has the absolute value of 5.

I have tried and I can't understand why you're making such a production of this problem. PsyDAG wrote a concise and simple explanation and you blew it off. You're given 4 numbers and asked to tell which two have the same absolute value. +5 and -5 are the two values in the set of 4 numbers and the reason they have the same absolute value follows the explanation of PsyDAG. There is no confusion information here at all.
