Step 1
The absolute of the number gives the size or magnitude of a number.
(a) $|-7|$
The absolute value of $|-7|$ is,
$|-7|=7$
It is the distance between 0 to -7.
Thus, the absolute value of $|-7|$ is 7.
(b) $|-2|$
The absolute value of $|-2|$ is,
$|-2|=2$
It is the distance between 0 to -2.
Thus, the absolute value of $|-2|$ is 2.
Step 2
(c) $|6|$
The absolute value of $|6|$ is,
$|6|=6$
It is the distance between 0 to 6.
Thus, the absolute value of $|6|$ is 6.
(d) $|0|$
The absolute value of $|0|$ is,
$|0|=0$
Thus, the absolute value of $|0|$ is 0.
