Remove everything from #|-13|# except for the number 13

#|-13|=13#

Just remove the absolute value and negative symbols

#color(red)|-|#

and keep #13# to simplify #|-13|#

basically, remove everything that is not a number from the question

If any number = #x#

simplifying #|-x|# means remove #abs# and #-# from #x#

the simplified version of #|-x|# which is just #x#
