An absolute value indicates how far is determined number from zero, disregarding its symbol (negative or positive)

It is symbolized between two bars for example

|-8|=8

and

|8|=8

This means that any absolute value can be either positive or negative.

The possible results for the quotient, since it was between two absolute values, are -7 and 7
