no |x|=x |-x|=x |x| means any negative value is positive

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not just any negative value is made positive, but all values will be positive. so any number with || around it will come out positive: |1| = 1 |-2| = 2 |-2.5| = 2.5

the absolute value of any negative number is always positive this means l - l = + so the l - 2 l = 2

yes that is right
