ANSWERS:
A: 40 because the distance from 0 to 40 is 40
B: 40 because the distance from 0 to -40 is 40

Step-by-step explanation:
Absolute value will never be negative.
Absolute value only means how far a number is from zero.

SOME OTHER EXAMPLES:
The absolute value of −9 is 9
The absolute value of 3 is 3
The absolute value of 0 is 0
The absolute value of −156 is 156

a.
|40|= 40 bc the distance from 0 to 40 is 40

b. |-40|= 40 bc the distance from 0 to -40 is 40

absolute value for a negative number will always be the opposite and absolute value for a positive number will still be positive. for example the absolute value of -5 would be 5. the absolute value of 45 would just be 45. does that help?
