The absolute value of an integer is the distance from 0 it is situated on the number line. Absolute value eliminates the "direction" traveled to get there. It's like saying that you walked 3 meters frontward versus 3 meters backward.
Here are a few instances: | - 3 | = 3 and | 3 | = 3
| - 9 | = 9
| 5 | = 5
| 3 - 11 | = | - 8 | = 8
With a number line in front of you, you can point to any location and tell someone how far it is from 0 by just ignoring whether that point is to the left or right of 0.
