Answer:

The absolute value of -10 is just 10.

Explanation:

Anything that comes out of the absolute value brackets, which look like this |-10|, becomes positive.

For example the absolute value of -|-10| is -10. Why? Well, because the absolute value of the -10 inside is 10, but then you have to add the negative that is outside that bracket so the answer is -10.

If the number inside the bracket is positive, is comes out the way it is, positive.
