Answer: |-7|
Step-by-step explanation: When an integer is written with vertical bars on either side, it means that we take the absolute value of that integer.
So |-7| is read as "the absolute value of negative 7."
The absolute value of an integer is its
distance from zero on a number line.
Think of absolute value in terms of a number line.
Since - 7 is 7 units from zero, the absolute value of - 7 is + 7.
So now we are comparing - 3 and + 7.
Now obviously, positive numbers are always
greater than negative numbers.
So + 7 is greater than - 3 which means |-7| is greater than - 3.
