|6+3| is the absolute value of 6+3. Basically, you solve whatever is inside the lines and then make that answer positive. If it is already positive then you don't have to do anything at all.

|6+3| = |9| = 9

Its the absolute value of 9...those parenthesis things are absolute value which means everything inside of them are positive.

Straight up and down parentheses mean "absolute value". Therefore, regardless of what you have inside the parentheses, you change it to the positive value and carry on from there.
