Rewrite each expression without absolute value bars. -3/|-3|

Guida verificata passo dopo passo
1
Identify the absolute value expression in the problem: \(\left| -3 \right|\).
Recall that the absolute value of a number is its distance from zero on the number line, which is always non-negative. So, \(\left| -3 \right| = 3\).
Rewrite the original expression \(\frac{-3}{\left| -3 \right|}\) by substituting the absolute value with its value: \(\frac{-3}{3}\).
Simplify the fraction \(\frac{-3}{3}\) by dividing numerator and denominator.
Express the simplified result without absolute value bars.
