Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

The absolute value of a number is essentially the distance of that number from zero on the number line. It is the positive value of the number, regardless of its sign. So, whether the number is positive or negative, its absolute value is always positive. For example, the absolute value of 5 is 5, and the absolute value of -5 is also 5.
