Describe the following inequality statement in a sentence. 7< |-8| a. seven is less than the absolute value of negative eight. b. seven is less than negative eight. c. seven is greater than the value of negative eight d. seven is greater than negative eight

A. Seven is less than the absolute value of negative eight.

Absolute value means that whatever value inside of the "| |" symbols becomes positive.

In the problem -8 would become 8.

(More examples: |4| remains 4 and |-5| becomes 5)

Pretend that the absolute value has already taken affect the equation. This leaves us with the equation:

7 < 8

7 is in fact less than 8. Choice A is the correct answer and is the only one that acknowledges that 7 is less than 8 and that the absolute value markers changed -8 to 8.
