∣18∣=
\( \left|18\right|= \)
\( \left|-2\right|= \)
\( \left|3\right|= \)
\( \left|0.8\right|= \)
\( \left|x\right|= \)
The "absolute value" can be viewed as the distance of a number from 0.
Therefore, the absolute value will not change the sign from negative to positive, it will always be positive.
\( \left|3^2\right|= \)
\( \left|-19\frac{1}{4}\right|= \)
