Of course, I'd be happy to help you! The expression |-3| represents the absolute value of -3, while -3 is simply a negative number. To understand the difference, let's break it down.
The absolute value of a number is its distance from zero on the number line. It ignores the sign (+ or -) and gives you the positive value. For example, the absolute value of -3 is 3, because -3 is 3 units away from zero on the number line.
To determine the absolute value of a number, follow these steps:
1. If the number is already positive (or zero), the absolute value is the same as the original number. For example, the absolute value of 3 is 3.
2. If the number is negative, you need to remove the negative sign to get the absolute value. For example, the absolute value of -3 is 3.
In this case, |-3| means you need to find the absolute value of -3. Following the steps mentioned above, we remove the negative sign and get the absolute value as 3.
On the other hand, -3 is a negative number without taking into consideration its absolute value.
So, the key difference is that |-3| represents the positive value of -3 (which is 3), while -3 is simply a negative number.
