Garfield had $10 in the bank yesterday. Then, Garfield bought dinner for $14, but didn't realize that he overdrew from his bank. His account balance was negative now and he was in debt! What is the absolute value of his new account balance?

I believe it’s 4 since he’s in dept with 4 dollars so that’ll be -4, but the absolute value is 4 since it’s 4 spaces away from 0.
