Answer:

| -18 | = 18

Explanation:

The value which is described as the distance of a number on the number line from the zero value (0) despite of which direction it is going is known as the absolute value.

So if we take the absolute value of a number, we always get a positive value without considering if the value was negative or positive.

Therefore, the absolute value of -18 will be positive 18.

| -18 | = 18
