The absolute value is the distance from 0 on the number line. -5 is 5 away from 0. You cannot have a negative distance, therefore you cannot have a negative absolute value. Absolute values are not ALWAYS positive because absolute values can be zero as well. Zero is not positive nor negative.
distance
If you subtract a negative from a positive, add both of their absolute values. If you subtract a positive from a negative, add both of their absolute values and multiply by negative one.
The absolute value of -7= 7 The absolute value of 7= 7 Therefore, the absolute values of both 7 and -7 are the same, because absolute value is the distance a number is from zero, regardless of sign.
if you are in math class and the teacher asks you a question about it.
That sounds sound.
never
Because that is the definition of absolute values
A value is "absolute" if it can only be the positive numerical value of a number. (Sometimes this is also referred to as the "modulus"). For example, the absolute value of -8 is 8. It changes all negatives into positives, but does NOT change positives into negatives. Absolute values are useful for calculating distances, since having a negative distances is fairly useless...
I think your teacher made a mistake on your paper, this is impossible without considering negatives and absolute values.

Absolute values are never negative. The opposite, or negative, or additive inverse, of a negative number is the number's absolute value; a non-negative number is its own absolute value. The absolute values of 7 and -5, are, respectively, 7 and 5.
The sum of two positive numbers is always positive, and the sum of two negatives is always negative. If you have a positive and a negative number, there sum can be either, so look at the absolute values to decide. For example -3+2=-1. Since all you care about is the sign, look at the absolute value. If the negative number has a greater absolute value, the sum is negative and if the positive number's absolute value, which is the number itself, is bigger, the sum is positive. If the absolute values are equal, the sum is 0.
Additive opposites MUST have the same absolute values.
All numbers have opposites that are the same as their absolute values.
No, absolute values are always positive.
A positive and negative number with the same magnitude (value) will have their absolute values equal.
It is the mean absolute deviation.
