How could the absolute value of -2 make it a twin of 6 when |-2| = 2? Show work
I did page 6 I decided to skp edit र Jennifer Nash Name: Two integers don't get along. "We have a lot of differences, Negative." said Positive. "We aren't that much different," said Negative. if you took the absolute value of me." "Absolutely!" replied Negative. Tean, said Positive. "Too bad we gre still 18 upits anart without cheating and using absolutes. Zero was hiding behind the bush listenina to Negagtive and Positive talk. "I wonder what these Two numbers are," he said to himself. "Maybe it could be 6 and -2. Nah, that's 8 units apart, and how could the absolute value of -2 make it a twin of 6 when l-21 = 2? This is sooo00000000 confusing." Help Zero figure this out. And by the way, GOOD LUCK! Just for starters, the absolute value or a negative number is positive. Hope that helps. Show your work. his is not as confusing as it sounds! Did you know 5| means the absolute value of 5? The nswer is 5 because it is 5 units from zero. Absolute value measures the number of unit: rom zero.
