It is very easy. All you do is you add a negative before the number.HOWEVER 0 does not have an opposite value. Here are some examples.
1 = -1
25 = -25
0 = 0 NOTE: like I said 0 does not have opposite since it is nothing
-3 = 3
-7 = 7
I hope that this will help =]

The absolute value of a number is always positive or zero, while its opposite is always negative or zero. The relationship between the absolute value of a number and its opposite is that they have the same numerical value but opposite signs. For example, the absolute value of -5 is 5, and the opposite of 5 is -5.
how do you identify opposite and absolute value of a rational number
To find the absolute value of a positive number all the answer is is the number in between the lines. For example, the absolute value of [340] is 340. To find the absolute value of a negative number, it is simply the opposite (positive version) of the negative number. For example, the absolute value of [-56] is just 56.
The purpose of finding the opposite of a number is to find its absolute value. This is how much less or greater it is than zero and how much it needs to return to zero.
A negative number. For example: -I -2 I = -2 because -2= 2 and the opposite of 2 is -2.
