Answer:

44 (positive)

Explanation:

The bars that come in front of and after the -44 are known as absolute value signs and they indicate for you to make the number in between them positive. So in this case the answer you would get is 44.

Hey there!

Here is your answer:

The proper answer to this question is "44" .

Reason:

Think of it like this:

| | <---- This represents a car wash

When you add a positive or negative number in between the lines it represents a car going through the car wash.

So if...

|-44| (goes through the car wash)=44
|44| (goes through the care wash)=44

Therefore it would equal 44.

If you need anymore help feel free to ask me!

Hope this helps!
