The absolute value is the distance of the number from 0: it's always non-negative: either 0 or positive.

The opposite is the negative value.: the opposite of the absolute value would be non-positive.
so for example,the opposite of the absolute value of 2 is -2

the opposite of the absolute value of -2 is ALSO -2
