Question

Please help me with this homework

Answer 1

The vertical uprights on both sides of the number 8 mean to take the absolute value.

To get the absolute value of a number is really simple. If it negative, then make it positive by taking away the minus sign. If it positive, then do nothing.

Now we, -3 and 8 and of course the solution is '<' because -3 is less than 8.

Hope this helps!
