omg thank you so much I've been waiting a 1 to do this problem thank you !!!!
:D yeah! you are totally welcome! good luck!
Sure! The expression |-3| represents the absolute value of -3. The absolute value of a number is its distance from zero on a number line, always resulting in a non-negative value. So |-3| would be equal to 3, since the distance of -3 from zero is 3 units.
On the other hand, -3 is a negative number itself. It represents a value that is less than zero on the number line.
