Answer 1

Answer:5 and -5

Step-by-step explanation:

There's not really any steps but absolute value is the number of spaces a numerical value is from 0 so 5 is 5 spaces away and -5 is also 5 spaces away -3 is 3 spaces away and 8 is 8 spaces away.

Answer 2

Answer:

5 and -5

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that -5,5,-3 and 8.

We have to find that which two  numbers of the given data have same absolute value.

We now that absolute value of any number x is given by $\mid x\mid$

Let a number -2 then its absolute value

$\mid -2\mid=2$

Absolute value of 5=$\mid 5\mid =5$

Absolute value of -5=$\mid -5\mid =5$

Absolute value of -3=$\mid -3\mid=3$

Absolute value of 8=$\mid 8\mid =8$

We can see that absolute value of and -5 are same .

Hence, 5 and -5 have same absolute value.
