Absolute value describes the distance of a number on the number line from 0 without considering which direction from zero the number lies.
Hence, Absolute value of an Negative number is always a Positive number.
23. Letter A
First, Virgie goes up 9 steps to the stairs, so that is a Positive Number.
After that, Virgie steps down 3 steps, so that is a Negative Number.
Therefore, the answer is:
A. |9| + |-3|
