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#
