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

Question

-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.

Answer 1

Sounds good.

Answer 2

Needs full sentences and more explanation tho

Answer 3

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.

Answer 4

So confused I only have those four numbers to right about.. pls help

Answer 5

Write not right

Answer 6

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|".

Answer 7

But I only have the choices of -5,5,-3,8 I don’t have |5| as a choice. Your probably right and I’m just dumb. I’m so confused..

Answer 8

Ugh I don’t even know where this convo is going. Both right.

Answer 9

I think this is just all the same people changing there names lol

Answer 10

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.

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.

Welcome anonymous

Answer 23

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.
