When the absolute value of an expression is taken, the result is always non-negative. This means that the outcome will be either zero or a positive number, regardless of whether the original expression was negative or positive. The absolute value effectively removes any negative sign from the expression.

In mathematics, three negatives do not make a negative; rather, two negatives make a positive. When you multiply or add numbers, the rules of arithmetic dictate that a negative multiplied by a negative results in a positive. Introducing a third negative flips the sign back to negative. Therefore, the expression of three negatives leads to the conclusion that it is equivalent to a negative outcome.
