The answer to |7| is 7 because the lines on it means any number inside those lines are automatically positive

Answer: -7

Reason:

The expression |-7| evaluates to 7. It represents the idea that -7 is 7 units from zero on the number line.

The opposite of a positive number is its negative counterpart.

Therefore, the opposite of 7 is -7, and vice versa. Think of it like mirroring over a vertical line at 0.
