if a and b are negative numbers, and |a| < |b|, then b - a is negative.
a)true
b)false

Hey!

True

Explanation:

In the problem we can say that b and a are both negative numbers, placed to the left of 0. Since b is greater that means that "a" is closer to 0 then b is. Which is written as a > b

Subtract b to both sides:

a - b < b - b

a - b < 0

Subtract a to both sides:

a - a > b - a

0 > b - a

Hope This Helped! Good Luck!

B) false

Step-by-step explanation:

B) false

It could be negative or positive.

|x| means the absolute value of x. This is ow far away it is from 0. So, if x is -9, then |-9| = 9

If x is 9, |9| = 9

So, it is false.

to rewrite a literal equation you may need to divide by a number, or by a variable.
