No, Brandon is not correct in making that statement
Step-by-step explanation:
No, Brandon is not correct in making that statement. The absolute value of a number is the total distance between that number and 0. Brandon most likely states this because the absolute value of a negative number such as -5 would actually be the opposite, which is 5. This is not true for the absolute value of a positive such as 5, which instead is actually just 5. Meaning that the absolute value of a positive integer is the same value and NOT the opposite.
