Answer: b =

Explanation:

In Mathematics , The absolute value of any number x is the non-negative value of x.

We use modulus |x| to represent the absolute value of a number.

For example : |-231|=231

[NOTE : Absolute value of a positive number is the number itself.]

Similarly, |60|=60 and |-60|=60

It means |60| = |-60|

Therefore, the correct answer is option b (=).

The vertical lines on each side the number mean the absolute value.

The absolute value of any number is always the positive value.

Knowing that both numbers in the given question would equal positive 60:

|60| =60

|-60| =60

So:

|60| = |-60|
