Answer:

Absolute value is the distance the number away is from 0. In simpler terms, if you had a -8 the absolute value is 8. I attached a picture of the absolute value symbols. The absolute value of a normal positive 8 is still 8 though because it's the same distance on a number line.

The most common way to represent the absolute value of a number or expression is to surround it with the absolute value symbol: two vertical straight lines. |6| = 6 means “the absolute value of 6 is 6.” |–6| = 6 means “the absolute value of –6 is 6.” |–2 – x| means “the absolute value of the expression –2 minus x
