Question

Evaluate the expression when a = 1.4 and b = 2.7.

|a| - b

Answer 1

Throw in the values and you get the answer.

Answer 2

not sure if its negative or positive since those 2 lines are around the a

Answer 3

@jdguy The 2 lines stands for absolute value. It basically means the positive version of that number. Since the positive version of 1.4 is 1.4 (duh), you just throw in the numbers and evaluate.
