6.NS.7c - Apply and extend previous understandings of numbers to the system of rational numbers

Understand the absolute value of a rational number as its distance from 0 on the number line; interpret absolute value as magnitude for a positive or negative quantity in a real-world situation.
For example, for an account balance of –30 dollars, write |–30| = 30 to describe the size of the debt in dollars.
