Answer:

Option D) The opposite of 3 is -3. The absolute value of 3 is -3.

Explanation:

On a number line, if you go three to the right from 0, you get 3. But if you go the same amount to the left of 0, you would get -3. I can't think of any other way to explain the opposite. The absolute value is usually the same number but the absolute value is usually the same number, but it's opposite.

I hope i explained that well and that you do well on your test!
