if x=-2 and y=2, which of the following is false: (a) (x) is greater than 1 (y)

Question

(b) (x) = (y)
(c) (y) is less than 1
(d) (x) = y

Answer 1

I assume (x) means |x| = absolute value?

well, you have

|x| = 2
|y| = 2

Looks like (c) is false.

Can't tell with (a), since "1 (y)" eludes me.

Answer 2

Steve, in (a)the (y) is a misprint and
(x)= -2 Thank you for the help

Answer 3

If (x) = -2 and (y) = 2, then everything is false.
