This is what the last person said:
"the truth is like most things in math absolute value is kinda pointless. you don't really need to know what it is to succeed in life."
First of all, whoever wrote this is stupid. It doesn't matter how pointless it is, you still have a question and you need an answer, right? I would NOT recommend this site to this who find this place as a back up for homework, like me. People like this loser who posted that ruin it by saying, "Oh it's pointless, you won't need it." Well, you will if you want to pass! Nobody has answered this question yet, so try a different site. Once I find the answer, I will come repost.

They are often used for real world applications in math and science, where negative solutions are impossible, especially in geometry, or where they are simply unhelpful, as seen in the case of absolute deviation, a function that finds the amount numbers vary from an average, absolute value is important because only the numbers' distance from the average is wanted.
Can the absolute value of a number be both positive and negative Explain?
Well, honey, the absolute value of a number is always positive, no matter what. It's like a magnet that repels negativity. So, no, it can't be both positive and negative at the same time. It's just not how math works, sweetie.
