hey

|-4| = positive four. like the person underneath me stated, the absolute value of ANY number, positive or negative, is always positive.

however, if there is a negative sign in FRONT of the absolute value,

- | 4 |

then you would take the absolute value of it, being 4, and then multiply by -1

- | 4 | = (-1) 4 = - 4

It is 4, because it is 4 away from the number 0 :]
