Answer:

9 & 6

Step-by-step explanation:

First, check if, by adding them (sum), they equal 15:

9 + 6 = 15

Next, check the greater number, by multiplying it by 2:

9 x 2 = 18

Check the lesser number, by multiplying it by 3:

6 x 3 = 18

Note that they both have 18 as an answer.

9 & 6 are your answers.

Evaluate each expression |-16| -|-1|

Maslowich

Understanding the Absolute Value.

First, know what the absolute value is.

The absolute value is the value that determines how far the value is from 0.

For example, The absolute value of -5 is far from 0 5 units. Therefore the absolute value of -5 equals 5.

Basic Absolute Value Defines

| a | = a

- | a | = -a

| - a | = a

Back to the question. To evaluate those expressions, we use the defines of absolute value.

|-16| = 16

|-1| = 1

16-(1)

Then remove the brackets. 16 - 1 = 15

Therefore, the answer is 15.

The answer above is when being subtracted and evaluated from both 16-1

Evaluating for each expressions would be

|-16| = 16

-|-1| = -1
