Question

|-13\ = -(-13) True False?

Answer 1

Answer:

This statement is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

The absolute value is how far the number is from zero, so how many steps will it take on a number line to get from that particular number to zero?

Since you can't have negative steps, The -13 in absolute value would be 13.

The -(-13) is the same thing as saying  -1 ( -13 ). Since negative times a negative is a positive, 13=13 is a true statement.
