Hi
find the expression:  
  2*|-5| = 2*5 = 10
Note: |-5| read as the absolute value of -5 is a measure of the 'numerical value
of a number' without regard to its sign. that is |-5| = |5|
(can be thought of the distance of the number from zero on the number line)
{{{number_line( 600, -6, 6, -5, 5 )}}}
