The absolute value of a number is it's distance from 0.
The absolute value of a positive number is the number itself while a negative number's absolute value is -1 multiplied to the number.
So -3*-1=3
Therefore the absolute value is 3.
We can also list from -3 until 0
-3, -2, -1, 0
The number of spaces in between is 3 so the absolute value is 3
