What is ∣−2∣|-2|?

Absolute value gives the non-negative distance from 00, so ∣−2∣=2|-2| = 2.

What is ∣8∣|8|?

The absolute value of a non-negative number is itself: ∣8∣=8|8| = 8.

Mid-gameeasy

What is ∣0∣|0|?

00 is its own distance from 00, so ∣0∣=0|0| = 0.

Mid-gameeasy

What is ∣5−4∣|5 - 4|?

First compute the difference: 5−4=15 - 4 = 1. Then take the absolute value: ∣1∣=1|1| = 1.

Mid-gameeasy

What is ∣−3∣|-3|?

Absolute value gives the non-negative distance from 00, so ∣−3∣=3|-3| = 3.
