Q. Which sign makes the statement true?−7 ? ∣−7∣< > =
Understand Absolute Value: We need to compare the number −7 with its absolute value, which is ∣−7∣.The absolute value of a number is the distance of that number from 0 on the number line, regardless of direction. Therefore, the absolute value is always non-negative.
Calculate Absolute Value: Calculate the absolute value of −7.∣−7∣=7The absolute value of −7 is 7.
Compare Numbers: Now we compare −7 with 7.−7 is less than 7 because on the number line, negative numbers are to the left of positive numbers, and −7 is to the left of 7.
Choose Correct Sign: Choose the correct sign that makes the statement true.-7 < 7The correct sign is "<" because −7 is less than 7.
