Verified Answer :

id say |x|=5, that's my guess

Answer:

B. \(|x|<5\)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be required number.

We are asked to choose the option that says that a number is between -5 and 5.

First of all, we will represent solution of each of our given option.

A. \(|x|>5\)

Using absolute value definition if \(|u|>a\), then for \(u<-a\text{ and }u>a\), we can write our given inequality as \(x<-5\text{ and }x>5\). Therefore, option A is not a correct choice.

B. \(|x|<5\)

Using absolute value definition if \(|u|, then for \(-a, we can write our given inequality as \(-5. Therefore, option B is the correct choice.

C. \(|x|=5\)

Using absolute value definition if \(|u|=a\), then for \(u=-a\text{ and }u=a\)], we can write our given absolute value as \(x=-5\text{ and }x=5\). Therefore, option C is not a correct choice.
