Algebra I: Getting started - Absolute value properties

This is a free lesson from our course in Algebra I


	This mini-lesson introduces and explains the concept of the absolute value which is nothing but a number's distance from 0 on the number line. The distance is always expressed as a positive value.It can also be said that the absolute value (or modulus) \|a\| of a real number a is a's numerical value regardless of its sign. So, for example, 3 is the absolute value of both 3 and -3.With the help of below video and more examples, you will learn how to find the absolute value of numbers.
