Question

Group of answer choices

A) -4

B) 4

C) -20

D) 20

Answer 1

Answer:
`4`

Finding the absolute value of a number is just like finding the opposite of a word.

The absolute value of -12 is 12.

The absolute value of 8 is 8. The reason why is because it's already a positive number and cannot be changed to a negative number.

So now we'll subtract 12-8 which equals 4.

So the answer to this problem is 4.

Example of absolute value

|-3|=3

|-14|=14

|20|=20

|33|=33
