When thinking about absolute value we should be thinking about its distance from zero.
\n" ); document.write( "so |22| = 22
\n" ); document.write( "and |-21| = 21
\n" ); document.write( "so 22 > 21
\n" ); document.write( "so to answer your question:
\n" ); document.write( "which number is larger in absolute value 22 or -21 ?
\n" ); document.write( "22\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
