Answer: -7.43 or 7.43

Step-by-step explanation: Absolute value means distance from zero.

On a number line, -7.43 and 7.43 are both 7.43 units away from zero. Absolute value is always positive because distance is always positive.

Think about it this way, you can't drive a negative amount of miles.

So that's why absolute value is always positive.
