Answer:

Absolute value;

The non-negative value of x(in your case -19) without regard to its sign.

Basically how far in distance x(in your case -19) is away from 0.

|–19| = 19

Answer:

19

Explanation:

Given the following question:

When dealing with absolute value we need to understand that all negatives in between "| |" are changed into positives. See absolute value (| |) as if its a car wash, and negatives are dirty cars.

In this case...

|-19 |

|-19 |=19

=19

Hope this helps.
