zero. The absolute value of a number is just the positive version of that number, so the absolute value of x is x, and x minus x is zero.

The absolute value of 19 is 19. If x is positive , absolute x equals x.
2 - 7 = -5. The absolute value of -5 is 5
If a number is not less than zero then that is its absolute value. If a number is less than zero, its negative is its absolute value. So, if |x| denotes the absolute value of x, then |x| = -x for x<0 [since if x<0 then -x>0] and |x| = x for x>= 0
The absolute value of any negative integer is equal to its value without the minus sign. In this instance, abs(-45) = 45.
The absolute value of the opposite of x is x. The absolute value is the number's distance from zero on a number line. Distance can not be negative, so basically, to find the absolute value of a number you just need to make it positive. The opposite of x is -x. |-x|=x - you make the x positive Of course, if x, to begin with, represents a negative (less than zero) number than the absolute value would be -x. For example if x=-3, the opposite value of x would be 3 and the absolute value of x would also be 3 which happens to be -x.
