As we know these two lines mean | | a modulus sign. The modulus symbol is sometimes used in conjunction with inequalities. A modulus sign in simple words just ignores the sign and gives us the absolute value.

For example in this case the modulus gives us 4 x 2 - 3. As you can see the modulus sign has ignored the original negative signs with the numbers.

So after evaluating the equation the answer comes out to be 8 - 3 which is equal to 5.
