Step 1
The absolute of the number gives the size or magnitude of a number.
(a) |7|
The absolute value of |7| is,
|7|=7
It is the distance between 0 to -7.
Thus, the absolute value of |7| is 7.
(b) |2|
The absolute value of |2| is,
|2|=2
It is the distance between 0 to -2.
Thus, the absolute value of |2| is 2.
Step 2
(c) |6|
The absolute value of |6| is,
|6|=6
It is the distance between 0 to 6.
Thus, the absolute value of |6| is 6.
(d) |0|
The absolute value of |0| is,
|0|=0
Thus, the absolute value of |0| is 0.
