Me ! answers or figuring it out would be great.

For absolute value, you are trying to figure out how many spaces it will take from that number to 0.

For example, if I was given the problem
| 3 |, I would ask myself "How do I get from 3 to 0? Since it takes you 3 spaces to get to 0, the answer will be 3. The same goes for any problem. If there is a negative sign in front of the absolute value, you add a negative to your answer.

hope that helps!
