Absolute Value

Find the absolute value The - sign outside the These may require order
of these numbers brackets is not affected of operations rules to be
considered. Solve these.
Examples Examples
i) |-12| = 12 ii) |25| = 25 i) -|17| = -17 ii) -|-76| = -76 Example
15
1. |30| = 2. |65| = 19. -|8| = 20. -|-61| = |12 + 5 × 3| - |-5 + 7|

3. |-73| = 4. |-1.6| = 21. |-5.9| = 22. -|81| = = |27| - |2|

5. |-19| = 6. |141| = 23. -|-11| = 24. |-35| = = 27 - 2

= 25
7. |-83| = 8. |39| = 25. -|-20| = 26. -|47| =

9. |0| = 10. |-1| = 27. -|-5| = 28. |-94| = 39. |15 + 9 ÷ 3| - |26 - 50|

Now try these

Now find the absolute
operations
value of these operations Examples
i) |-11| - |-4| ii) -|13| - |-9|
Examples
= 11 - 4 = -13 - 9
i) |43 - - 16| ii) |18 - 30|
40. -|30 ÷ 3 × 2| × |-9 + 5|
=7 = -22
= |59| = |-12|
29. |29| - |-39| 30. |12| + |-26|
= 59 = 12
