Answer
-2.7
Work Step by Step
The absolute value of x, written by the form $|x|$, is the distance between x and 0 on the number line. It is equal to:
x if $x\geq0$
-x if $x\lt0 $
Since $2.7\geq0$, $|2.7|=2.7$
Since the negative sign is outside of the absolute value sign, this problem asks us to find the opposite of the absolute value of 2.7.
$|2.7|=2.7, so -|2.7|=-2.7$
