Sagot :

In order to solve this exercise you need to remember that Absolute value has the form:

[tex]|x|[/tex]

We take the value of any number "x" (no matter the sign) as a positive value.

It is also important to remember that Positive numbers are those numbers that are greater than zero and the Negative number are those numbers that are less than zero.

Based on the information given above, you know that:

[tex]|14|=14[/tex]

Therefore, since 14 is positive and -15 is negative:

[tex]14>-15[/tex]

This means that |14| is greater than -15:

[tex]|14|>-15[/tex]
