Answer:
- |-11| < - (-11)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the pair of numbers - |-11| and - (-11), we want to determine which is greater or whether they are equal
First lets rewrite both numbers.
- |-11| = -11 (note that the modulus sign will change any negative value into a positive value and that's why |-11| is equivalent to 11)
- (-11) = 11 (note that the negative sign here was retained since it is not an absolute value like the former)
It can be seen that both numbers are therefore not equal i.e - |-11| is less than - (-11). Hence the expression - |-11| < - (-11) is a true statement
