Answer:

Absolute value of -12 is 12 also written as |-12|=12 and the absolute value of 19 is 19 also written like |9|=9. An absolute value is never negative. It's always positive

Explanation:

Absolute value describes the distance of a number on the number line from 0 without considering which direction from zero the number lies. The absolute value of a number is never negative. When we take the absolute value of a number, we always end up with a positive number (or zero). Whether the input was positive or negative (or zero), the output is always positive (or zero).

Hope this helps :)
