One example of absolute value in the real world is subtraction.
For example, you have 17_____ and your friend has 62_____.
if you want to see how many more _____ your friend has, you want to make sure that the answer will be positive. The way that you do this is you subtract |17 - 62| = 45
(I know.... You could just do 62 - 17, but absolute value can be used so you can subtract |a - b| and |b - a|, and they will turn out the same.)

What is the answer for this problem cause i am very confused
EleoNora [17]

41.8, angle y and the measurement angle labeled as just "138.2" are supplementary angles, meaning that when you add them together they equal 180. So all you have to do is subtract 138.2 from 180 and you get your answer which is 41.8.
