Question:

|7| + |-2| = ?
Note: This problem is the number -2 within an absolute value sign, not the number -21.

A 9
explanation

9 is the correct answer because the brackets around the numbers mean you are adding the absolute value of those numbers.
An absolute value looks at the actual number within the brackets and not any sign associated with it, including a negative sign. Therefore, 7 + 2 = 9.
