Explanation:
For the
#color(blue)"absolute value"# we have the condition
#color(orange)"Reminder"# for example.
#|-4|=4" and " |4|=4# The absolute value is a measure of how far a value is from the origin with no consideration of it's direction.
here
#|-4|=4,|-6|=6,|3|=3" and " |-1|=1# hence the expression can be written.
#-(4)+(6)-(3)+(1)=-4+6-3+1=0#
