Answer:

-x/3

Explanation:

because x < 0 , so lets take x = -3

Explanation:

If x < 0, we consider the absolute value of x/3.

The absolute value is always positive or zero, which means when x < 0, the expression becomes -x/3. This is because we remove the negative sign from negative numbers when finding the absolute value.

So, |x/3| = (-x)/3 when x < 0.
