Question 428611: the way i get messed up is that when yhu have a positive 5 and they have those bars around it and you have to show or tell how that is absoulte value cna you give me some good examples?

Absolute Value is the distance a number is from zero.
|5| = 5, because 5 is 5 away from 0
|-2| = 2, because -2 is 2 away from 0
|-3/4| = 3/4, because -3/4 is 3/4 away from 0
|0| = 0, because 0 is 0 away from 0
If |x| = 3, then x could be 3 or -3.
