3|-3| = 9

Answer: 9

Concept:

Here, we need to know the idea of absolute value.

The absolute value of a number or integer is the actual distance of the integer from zero, in a number line.

There are no negatives in absolute value. So in practice "absolute value" means to remove any negative sign in front of a number, and to think of all numbers as positive.

Solve:

Given

3 |-3|

Expand absolute value sign, which means making [-3] positive

= 3 × (3)

Simplify by multiplication

=
\boxed{9}

Hope this helps!! :)

Please let me know if you have any questions
