$1$ $1$

Explanation:

Since
$XXX | 2 | X = 2$ $color(white)("XXX")abs(2)color(white)("X")=2$
$XXX | - 6 | = 6$ $color(white)("XXX")abs(-6)=6$
$XXX | 3 | X = 3$ $color(white)("XXX")abs(3)color(white)("X")=3$ ; and
$XXX | - 4 | = 4$ $color(white)("XXX")abs(-4)=4$

$| 2 | + | - 6 | - | - 3 | - | - 4 |$ $abs(2)+abs(-6)-abs(-3)-abs(-4)$
$XXX = 2 + 6 - 3 - 4$ $color(white)("XXX")=2+6-3-4$
(with evaluation done from left to right:)
$XXX = 8 - 3 - 4$ $color(white)("XXX")=8-3-4$
$XXX = 5 - 4$ $color(white)("XXX")=5-4$
$XXX = 1$ $color(white)("XXX")=1$
