What is the difference between |–3| And –3 I personally think it’s nothing but idk plz help
Answered by scott
the two vertical lines || mean "absolute value"
... the value of the number , without the sign

|-3| is 3

-3 is -3

What confuses you?
Answered by Becki!
Well I knows the || symbols mean an absolute value but I just confused on how it’d be different from –3
Answered by scott
no minus sign
Answered by Becki!
But on the question there is one? I’m sorry I must seem really idiotic
Answered by scott
you can put any value inside absolute value lines
... the absolute value operation makes everything positive

|–3| = 3 ... –3 = –3 ... that is the difference

Okay, so the answer would be
“The difference is there’s no minus sign.” Right?
