Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

the two lines on either sign of each number indicate absolute value, which is the numbers value from 0 (on a number line). You turn -12 and -3 into 12 and 3 and subtract as normal.
|-12| - |-3| = 9
The absolute value of -12 is 12 and the absolute value of -3 is 3. So, |-12| - |-3| = 12 - 3 = 9
