    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.
