I see that you already got a specific answer. More in general, you can calculate the absolute value of a complex number using the Pythagorean theorem. You can also use the "rectangular to polar" conversion, available on just about any scientific calculator - which will give you both the absolute value, and the angle. However, using this function is a bit confusing, and you'll probably have to check the calculator manual.

no if its absolute value of -7 and +7 then its equal
The absolute value of any number is the "distance from zero". If the expression is negative, it is converted to positive. The absolute value of x+7 can be either x+7 (if x+7 is positive) or -(x+7) (if x+7 is negative).
No. The absolute value of the opposite of 7 is 7, but the opposite of the absolute value of seven is -7.
