Step 1: Identify the function f(x) which is given as f(x) = |x|.
Step 2: Substitute -3 into the function. This means we need to find f(-3).
Step 3: Replace x with -3 in the function: f(-3) = |-3|.
Step 4: Calculate the absolute value of -3. The absolute value of a number is its distance from 0 on the number line, which is always positive.
Step 5: Since |-3| = 3, we find that f(-3) = 3.
