The absolute value of a number indicates the distance of a number from zero.

It can simply be said to be the non-negative value of a number without reagrds to the sign of the number.

The absolute value is written in the form:

|-a| = a

|a| = a

|-6| = 6

|5| = 5

Therefore, the absolute value of a negative number will always be a positive number. This
