I need someone to check my answer for this question please!
Explain the difference in meaning between |-3| and -3.
My answer is
The difference between |-3| and -3 is simple: the difference is absolute value. |-3| is read as 'the absolute value of negative three', which means its total distance in units from the number line. So, the |-3| is 3.
Thank you sooooo much!
