Answer:

24

Explanation:

When there are two lines beside a number like |24|, it is asking for us to determine the distance between the number and 0 on a number line. This is called finding the absolute value.

The absolute values of all numbers are equal to themselves, and it will always be a positive number (ex. |-8| = 8).

Knowing this, the absolute value of 24, or |24|, is equal to 24.

I hope this helps!
