If it helps, you might want to think of it as a positive number since we write them all the time without the (+) positive symbol to the left.

If the absolute value of the positive integer is greater than the absolute value of the negative integer, then the sum of the two will be positive.If the absolute value of the positive integer is less than the absolute value of the negative integer, then the sum will be negative.If the absolute values of the two integers are the same then the sum will be zero, which has neither a negative nor a positive sign.


Why is absolute value of a number never a negative?

What does it mean when a number has 2 lines around it?

That it is an absolute value which means that it is literally just the number, neither positive nor negative, but stands for ALL values of that number including the positive and the negative. so for instance if you had |2| it is neither positive nor negative as that, but it stands for a +2 and a -2. Slightly confusing to explain, but... hope it's helpful.
