hint : |x| = -x ; if x < 0 and |x| = x ; if x >= 0
Still confused. So -x is less than 0?
for |-5|, it means x=-5, therefore x < 0, right ? so, |-5| = -(-5) = 5
Ohh okay so the answer is zero right?
no.... for |5| = 5 so, |-5| + |5| = 5 + 5 = 10

yes..
Absolute value means distance from zero, so the distance from zero of -5 is 5
