Answer 5

if there was negative number like, |-4|
then you get
|-4| = -(-4) = 4

Answer 6

Basically, easier way to explain, the absolute value will always be positive.

So if you have a positive number, just keep the number the same

If you have a negative number take away the negative symbol

Answer 7

Ex:

|-5| = 5

|10| = 10

Answer 8
