Answer:

The absolute value is the distance between a number and zero on a number line. There are always two numbers on the number line that are the same distance from zero. For instance, the numbers 4 and -4 are each a distance of 4 units away from zero. |4| represents the distance from 4 to zero, which equals 4.
