The absolute value of a number or an expression is always positive or zero. It cannot be negative. With absolute value, we are only interested in how far a number is from zero, not the direction.
Step-by-step explanation:
The absolute value of a number means the distance from 0. ... You cannot have negative distance, so it has to be positive.
How can you use absolute value to represent a negative number?
EX:
Subtract one number from the other and give the result the sign of the number that has the greater absolute value. 2 – 9 = -7 because the difference between 9 and 2 is 7 and the -9 has the larger absolute value making the result negative.
(SORRY) IF THIS IS WRONG THIS IS WHAT THE INTERNET GAVE TO ME <3 anyways i hope this kinda help you understand
