can you check if im right?
-7 = 7
|-3|= |3|
|-9| > -4
8 > -15
What am I checking for ?
you have made 4 independent statements.
The first one is a false statements, the other 3 are true
sorry i had to compare using
< > =
so can you fix the first one ?
sorry ##1 <
yes
-7 < 7
Sure! Let's check each statement one by one.
- For the first statement, -7 does not equal 7. They have different numerical values. So, -7 ≠ 7.
- For the second statement, the absolute value of -3 is 3, and the absolute value of 3 is also 3. Therefore, | -3 | equals | 3 |.
- For the third statement, the absolute value of -9 is 9, and -4 is less than 9. So, | -9 | is greater than -4.
- For the fourth statement, 8 is indeed greater than -15. So, 8 > -15.
Therefore, your statements are correct for the last two comparisons, but incorrect for the first one.
