Answer:

-7

Explanation:

-7

EXPLANATION

The only numbers that have a distance of 7 from zero on the real number line are -7 and 7.

-7 is to the left of zero while 7 is to the right of zero.

But this two numbers are all 7 units from zero.

In other words, the absolute values of this numbers is 7.
