|-3| is 3
-3 is -3

Well I knows the || symbols mean an absolute value but I just confused on how it’d be different from –3

no minus sign

But on the question there is one? I’m sorry I must seem really idiotic
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
... the absolute value operation makes everything positive
|–3| = 3 ... –3 = –3 ... that is the difference

“The difference is there’s no minus sign.” Right?
