|–6| < -9

|–6| < |-9|

Answer 2

The correct answer for the following question is |–6| < |-9| (4th option).

• The correct value of the given terma can be found by determining its absolute value.
• The absolute value of integers is given in the following way:

1. Integer |A| = + A is the absolute value
2. Integer |-A| = + A is the absolute value

• Therefore we can compute as follows:

1. For first option: |–9| < 6 = 9 < 6 = This is incorrect computation.
2. For second option: |–9| < |-6| = 9 < 6 = This is incorrect computation.
3. For third option: |–6| < -9 = 6 < -9 = This is incorrect computation.
4. For fourth option: |–6| < |-9| = 6 < 9 = This is the correct computation of integers.

Hence, |–6| < |-9| is the correct answer.
