What is |58| in absolute value?

The answer is 58 because there is no negative sign on the outside. For instance, -|58| this would be -58 since the negative sign is on the outside.

"So in practice "absolute value" means to remove any negative sign in front of a number, and to think of all numbers as positive (or zero)."

so your answer is { 58 } :)
