Determine Inequality Sign: We need to determine the correct inequality sign to use between −6 and the absolute value of 6, which is ∣6∣. The absolute value of a number is always non-negative, so ∣6∣ equals 6.
Compare Numbers: Now we compare −6 with 6. Since −6 is less than 6, the correct inequality sign that makes the statement true is <.
