Answer:
-|-8| is not the same as positive 8
Step-by-step explanation:
The absolute value is always positive, even for the negative numbers.
So in -|-8|, |-8| will be equal to 8, as the absolute value results in a positive number and thus the final result will be negative due to a negative sign outside the bars.
So, - |-8| = - 8
Thus this value is not equal to positive 8.
Numbers on right of 0 are positive. Thus 8 units to the right of 8 will be positive 8.
Opposite of a number has the opposite sign. So opposite of -8 will be +8.
