7>|−9|
|−8|=|8|
2>|−3|
|−4|<|4|
7 > |-9|
To compare the absolute values, we need to find the positive value of each number.
1. Regarding the comparison 7 > |-9|: The absolute value of -9 is 9, so the statement becomes 7 > 9, which is incorrect.
2. Regarding the comparison |-8| = |8|: The absolute value of -8 is 8, and the absolute value of 8 is also 8. So the statement |-8| = |8| is correct.
3. Regarding the comparison 2 > |-3|: The absolute value of -3 is 3, so the statement becomes 2 > 3, which is incorrect.
4. Regarding the comparison |-4| < |4|: The absolute value of -4 is 4, and the absolute value of 4 is also 4. So the statement |-4| < |4| is correct.
Therefore, the correct comparisons are:
|-8| = |8|
|-4| < |4|
