On most English language keyboards, the absolute value symbol can be created by using the vertical slash symbol "|" - which you get by holding down the shift key and pressing the key that would otherwise get you the backslash symbol "". On most keyboards it's right above the ENTER key. You have to use the symbol twice, just like you would with brackets and parentheses.
|x| = absolute value of x.

There is a technical definition for absolute value, but you could easily never need it. You should view the absolute value of a number as its distance from zero. The absolute value of +3 is 3, since it is three away from zero. The absolute value of -3 is 3, since it is three away from zero the other way.
Absolute Value in math terms? It is the numeric magnitude of a quantity, it's "bigness", without regard to direction or sign. It is the euclidean distance from zero to that quantity. Absolute Value is notated by using vertical bars. For an example, the absolute value of x is |x| |3| = 3 |-3| = 3 |4+3i| = 5
Firstly, we have to look at what the word absolute implies first. Absolute value can be represented as either lxl or abs(x). The word absolute means that for any number or equation it is positive. e.g. l-7l = 7. OR l3l = 3. Back to your question, since u just ask what is an absolute equation, i would not go through how to solve and graph them because its just too complicated at this stage. Absolute equation can be in the form of; lx-3l = 4 l4-xl > l5+xl <=== This is an inequality. lx+3l = l1+2xl
The symbol comes from the Greek alphabet.
