Absolute Value:
The absolute value of a number is the number’s distance from 0 on the number line. The symbol for absolute value is | |. The absolute value of a number is always 0 or positive.
|2| is read as “the absolute value of 2”.
Example: The absolute value of |-12| is 12.
Integer Comparison:
On a number line, the number to the right is the greater number and the number to the left is the smaller number.
The inequality symbol < means “is less than” and the inequality symbol > means “is greater than”.
Calculation:
The absolute value of —3 is 3 and the absolute value of -2 is 2.
The absolute value of —3 is to the right of absolute value of -2 on the number line, so |-3| > |- 2|.
Final statement:
|3| > |-2|.
