Hello.

|-8| = 8

As the absolute value of a negative number is its positive value.

Hope I helped.

The absolute value of a number can never be negative. That's because it represents the distance of a number from zero on a number line. The number
-8 is
8 digits to the left of zero on a number line. So, the absolute value of
-8 would be
8 .

Let me know if you have any questions regarding this problem!
Thanks!
