It's 2

Absolute value is just the distance the number is from zero on a number line.

So positive numbers stay the same and negative numbers lose their minus sign and become positive.

There is no working. This is a super easy question Dragon.

|2|=2

because 2 is 2 units from 0 on the number line.

The 2 vertical lines are symbols for absolute value.
