It is the amount of the number - ignoring the minus sign. It is a measure of how far the number would be from 0 on the number line, ignoring which direction you went in.
Absolute value describes the distance of a number on the number line from 0 without considering which direction from zero the number lies. The absolute value of a number is never negative. The absolute value of 5 is 5.

Count the distance of the number from 0, ignoring the direction in which you are moving.
- 5 is the smaller number. The truncated number line.- 5 - 4 - 3 - 2 - 1 0 1 2 3----------------------------------- 5 is in the " smaller " direction from 0.
Left of the 0 figure on the number line.
they wouldn't have a distance from each other because they're on the same point
The absolute value of negative 12 is 12. Absolute value means how far the number is from 0 It may help to draw a number line
The absolute value of negative 12 is 12. Absolute value means how far the number is from 0 It may help to draw a number line
the number 0
A number line spans in both directions starting from 0, therefore you have to add both negative and positive numbers. 5+6 = 11 They are 11 apart
Th absolute value of a number is its distance, regardless of direction, form 0.
