Any figure enclosed by absolute value symbols is converted to a positive value.
Start with - | - 33 |
The value inside the absolute value brackets is - 33 but the action of the absolute value is to make the value positive:
- | 33 |
We can omit the absolute value because the value has been made positive. When we remove the brackets in this question, there is a negative sign outside of the brackets:
- 33
And this is the final answer. The absolute value stipulates that the number within the brackets is always a positive value - it doesn't affect what happens outside of the brackets.
