hellomynameiskam · Answer

is 0 correct? my calculator says 0

freckles · Answer

|-3.9| is the number of units that represents the distance from -3.9 to 0
|3.9| is the number of units that represents the distance from 0 to 3.9

|a| is the number of units that represents the distance from a to 0 or you could say 0 to a
it doesn't matter
anyways distance is a positive or zero number
