Two integers with polar signs can have the same absolute value.
Absolute value measures the displacement of a number from 0 disregarding the direction. Examples are:
1.-8 and +8, their absolute values is |8| = 8
2.+ 5 and -5 = |5| = 5

3.1 + 2 absolute value is 3

4.-10 + 2 = usually the answer is -8 but its absolute value is 8

5.Same with -6 = |6| = 6
