Answer 1

ABSOLUTE VALUE

The absolute value of a number is the distance from 0 to that number. The distance is positive, hence, the absolute value is always a positive number.

Exercise

Replace the value of x:

`| x - 8 |`

`| -4 - 8 |`

`| -12 | = \large{\boxed{12}}`

The absolute value of a number is the numerical value of the number, without regard to its sign.

Answer. 12
