No. You can't squirm out of it that easily ! Sorry.
The absolute value of a number is its size without a plus or minus.
So you don't need to be good with plus and minus to work absolute values.
The statement says "the absolute value of 'x' is less than 3".
Let's test each choice and see if it works:
a). x = -6. The absolute value of -6 is 6. Is that less than 3 ? No.
b). x = -5. The absolute value of -5 is 5. Is that less then 3 ? No.
c). x = -1. The absolute value of -1 is 1. Is that less than 3 ? Yes.
d). x = 2. The absolute value of 2 is 2. Is that less than 3 ? Yes.
Do you see ? You don't need to be Einstein or a math whiz
to answer this one.
You're just giving up because people say that girls can't do math,
and instead of telling them where to stick it, you bought into it.
