Forget about the negative sign on the outside. What does |-7 + 3| gives you? Also can be written as |3 - 7|

-4?

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

Almost, you will get |-4|. Those two lines signify absolute value. That means everything in there will give you a positive answer. Examples: |x| = x; |-x| = x; |-2983| = 2983 You get the idea?

So, when you get that answer of the absolute value. Tag on that negative sign on the outside, which is the same as multiply by -1.
