The absolute value is the number of things, look at it as |-18| has 18<answer negative ones, and |18| has 18<answer~~positive ones, so it would be 18 for both!
kward64:
oh yeah
axie:
So what would |18 | > = < |-18| be?
kward64:

it would be equal!

So what is your answer to |7| ( ) |-7| be?
kward64:
=
i think
kward64:

axie:
Think of it this way, if a number is in between the |~| lines, then it would be the VALUE of the number. So example |-1| has a value of 1 so the answer is |-1|=1
