Question

What is the absolute value of the
following numbers:
5, -6, 2, -9,

Answer 1

5, 6, 2, 9

Explanation:

Absolute value is the units away from 0 that a number is, meaning that it is always positive. So, 5 is 5 units from 0, -6 is 6 units from 0, 2 is 2 units from 0, and -9 is 9 units from 0.

Answer 2

The absolute value of numbers is the distance it is from 0. More simply, you can just take away the negative sign (if there is one).

5 is 5 away from 0.

-6 is 6 away from 0.

2 is 2 away from 0.

-9 is 9 away from 0.
