Calculation:
Absolute value of any real number a is expressed as $|a|$ and is defined as

Substitute $\left(\pi —3\right)$ for a in the above absolute function.

As $\pi >3$ then the quantity $\pi -3>0$
As per the definition of absolute value the quantity $|\pi -3|$ is equal to $|\pi -3|$
The value of the absolute function is, $|\pi -3|=|\pi -3|=\pi -3$
Thus the quantity"$|\pi -3|$" without absolute value is $\pi -3$.
