Choose the answer replace ? with >,<, or = to make the statement true: "I-8I ? I8I"

Replacing the ? with = would make this statement true.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we know by those symbols around the different 8's, that we want the absolute value. Remember, the absolute value is always positive, and is the distance on the number line that the number is from zero.

So basically, both of them have an absolute value of 8. Does 8 equal 8? Yes, so the answer to this statement is =.

step-by-step explanation:

this can be solved first with pythagorean theorem, which tells us to square both legs of the triangle and sum it. this will be equal to the square of the hypotenuse.

the hypotenuse is the side "opposite" the 90 degree angle, which is x.

so we can write using pythagorean theorem,

simplifying:

to further simplify this radical, we need to use the property  

thus
