GRE Quantitative Reasoning QUESTION #8073
Question 1

Given that $|-\overline{3}| = -m$, compare:

Column A: $m$

Column B: 3

  • Column A is greater
  • Column B is greater
  • The two quantities are equal✔️
  • The relationship cannot be determined
Correct Answer Explanation

First, evaluate the left side: $|-\overline{3}| = |-3| = 3$

So we have: $3 = -m$

Solving for $m$: $m = -3$

Now compare:

  • Column A: $m = -3$
  • Column B: $3$

Since $-3 < 3$, Column B is greater.
