Answer 2

\(|x|\) means take the absolute value of x, which basically just means "drop any negative sign."

For example, |-5| = 5

Answer 3

you are takiing an absolute value of -1, so it is going to be 1.

Answer 4

i think its 11

Answer 5

|5| also = 5 but that's less interesting.

@SolomonZelman It says -11, not -1. You lost a 1 in the |'s I think.
