Part 1 of 3
To determine if the statement [tex]\( -8 < |-8| \)[/tex] is true or false, let's analyze and compare each part of the statement:
1. First, identify the value on the left side of the inequality:
[tex]\[
-8
\][/tex]
2. Next, identify and calculate the value on the right side of the inequality. The absolute value of [tex]\(-8\)[/tex] is:
[tex]\[
|-8| = 8
\][/tex]
3. Now, compare the two values:
[tex]\[
-8 < 8
\][/tex]
Since [tex]\(-8\)[/tex] is indeed less than [tex]\(8\)[/tex], the statement [tex]\( -8 < |-8| \)[/tex] is true.
Based on this evaluation:
### Determine if the statement is true or false.
- True
Thus:
- True
