Choose the 2 correct statements based on the image.

• There are 6 numbers 3 units from 0.

• There are 2 numbers 3 units from 0.

• |-3|= to 3 because they are both 3 units from 0.

• |-3| > |3| because the absolute value signs change the numbers inside into their opposites. So |-3| becomes 3 and |3| becomes -3. So yeah, this is obviously correct.
