# Absolute Value Equations and Inequalities

Whats is Absolute value? Absolute value (or Modulus) represented by |x| of a real number x is the non-negative value of x without regard to its sign. For example: Absolute value of -3 => |-3| = 3 Absolute value of 7 => |7| = 7 Absolute value as distance? We can also think of absolute […]
