Question

What is the difference between |–3| and –3?

Answer 1

The absolute bars converts a negative into a positive. |-3| = 3.
So the first one is positive 3 and the second one is negative 3.

Answer 2

so -3 is negative and the 3 is possitive?

Answer 3

yes. |-3| = +3 (positive)
-3 is just -3 (negative)

Answer 4

+3 is same as 3 and they are both positive
-3 is negative.
But |-3| = 3. The absolute bar changes negative 3 to a positive 3.

Answer 5

thanks

Answer 6

|-5| = 5 (absolute bar changes negative five to positive five).
|8| = 8 (absolute bar has no effect on positive numbers. Here it leaves positive eight as positive eight).
|-83| = 83
|57| = 57

You are welcome.
