-|-8|
Always work from the inside out"
1. First we look at -8
2. Second we look at |-8|
3. Third we look at -|-8|
---------------------------------
1. When we look at -8 we observe that it is a negative number.
2. When we look at |-8| the absolute value bars make that
-8 between the absolute value bars become 8 (positive eight)
3. When we look at -|-8| the negative sign in front makes that
positive 8 from step 2 become -8 (again).
So the answer is -8.
