Recall that
|x| = x is x ≥ 0
|x| = -x if x < 0

So, |-3| = -(-3) = +3
Looks like you need to review absolute value.
google has many examples, discussions and videos.
The 2 lines on the sides means that this question is asking you about Abosolute Value.
Examples: |5| or |-6|
I meant to say Absolute Value not "Abosolute Value"
I also wanted to say that I agree with Oobleck
