Question 108994
Remember when you take the absolute value of any number, the result is always positive. So when you evaluate {{{abs(8)}}} you'll get 8 (ie {{{abs(8)=8}}}). Also, when you evaluate {{{abs(-8)}}} it will be 8 (ie {{{abs(-8)=8}}}). So in other words, the absolute value of any number will be that same number but it will always be positive. Does this make sense?
