Question

Bryan owes Jennifer $15 he has $20 in his wallet use absolute value to decide if Bryan has enough money to pay Jennifer

Answer 1

Bryan does indeed have enough money to pay back Jennifer.
We have the 2 numbers -15 and 20. The absolute values of those numbers are 15 and 20.

All we have to do is subtrace 15 from 20. We have the result of positive 5, meaning Bryan will still have $5 left over.
