Why is it that |-9| = |9|

PLEASE HELP ASAP

A: The absolute value of a number gives its distance from zero on the number line.

B: when you multiply either number by -1, you get the other.

C: The absolute value of a number always gives the opposite of a negative number in the square of a positive number.

D: when the numbers are squared, they give the same answer.

The answer A. "The absolute value of a number gives its distance from zero on the number line."

Step-by-step explanation:

An absolute number has these in it '| |'. An absolute number always is positive, because it represents a difference.

For example, the difference of 0 and -30 is |30|.

Though 0 - 30 is -30, the DIFFERENCE is |30|.

As the answer says, "its distance from zero on the number line".

their is no graph showing

step-by-step explanation:

1. x> -5

2. x< 8

step-by-step explanation:

1. 2x> -10

divide by 2 from both sides of equation.

2x/2> -10/2

simplify, to find the answer.

-10/2=-5

x> -5 is the correct answer.

2. 3x< 24

divide by 3 from both sides of equation.

3x/3< 24/3

simplify, to find the answer.

24/3=8

x< 8 is the correct answer.

i hope this you, and have a wonderful day!
