The problem is to find the absolute value of -2 which is $\"abs%28-2%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "The absolute value signs just tell you to take the magnitude of the contents of the signs
\n" ); document.write( "and precede it with a plus sign. In this case the magnitude (or size) of the number in
\n" ); document.write( "the absolute value signs (without considering the minus sign) is just 2. Precede it by a
\n" ); document.write( "plus sign and you have:
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( " $\"abs%28-2%29+=+2\"$
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "So the answer is +2.
