The absolute value of a number is defined as the number or its negative - whichever is larger. (Remember that, if you are given a negative number, then ITS negative will be positive).
It can also be defined as the distance of the number on the number line (in 1-dimension) or as the Pythagorean distance between the point and the origin is spaces of 2 or more dimensions. The Pythagorean distance is always the principal (ie POSITIVE) square root of the sum of the squares of distances along a set of orthogonal axes.

What is the absolute value of 52?
52. The absolute value is the nonnegative value of a number. Enclosing vertical bars ( | | ) are the absolute value operator. Using that notation we can state that |a| = a, and |-a| = a. You can also note that |a| (whether a is negative or positive) equals the square root of a squared.
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.
