No. Absolute value applies to the set of real numbers.
I suppose you mean "why do they have the same absolute value". This is because of the way the absolute value is defined. The absolute value is the "distance from zero"; it may help to look at the numbers on a number line to get this clear.
It means that you take the absolute values of different numbers, and then compare them to see which one is greater.
the anserw is two. because absolute value mean the amount away from 0 and two is two numbers away from zero.
That is called the "absolute value". For example, the absolute value of 5 is 5; the absolute value of -5 is also 5. If you are familiar with complex numbers, the absolute value of 4 + 3i, for example, is also 5.
Negative numbers are always less than their absolute value.
