<h3>Answer: 6</h3>

Mark the locations -6 and 0 on the number line. Note that going from -6 to 0, or vice versa, will take exactly 6 steps. Put another way, the distance between 0 and -6 is 6 units. Absolute value represents distance, so it is never negative.

We say $|-6| = 6$

Effectively, all we're doing is removing the negative sign.
