Opposite means negative becomes positive, and positive becomes negative. Absolute value is distance from zero. It is 18 away from zero. Opposite of 18 is -18.

-18

By opposite, I believe this is talking about the sign. Note that taking an absolute value of a number always results in a positive number.
