We are asked to evaluate [tex]\pmb{|98|}[/tex].
[tex]\triangle~\fbox{\bf{KEY:}}[/tex]
The absolute value of a number is its distance from zero.
Absolute value is always positive; distances can't be negative, right?
So we need to find the absolute value of 98, which is:
[tex]\star~\star\mathrm{98}~\star~\star[/tex]
[tex]\ddot\bigstar[/tex] Remember this...
[tex]\fbox{The\;absolute\;value\;is\;a\;number's\;distance\;from\;zero}[/tex]
Hope it helps you out! :D
