They don't. There is a difference of 2. Subtract one from the other. If they have

the same value, your answer should be zero, but it will not be zero.

===================

They have the same size (also called absolute value), but not the same value.

If you owe me $1 or I owe you $1, the amount of cash involved is the same

either way, but the situations are exactly opposite.
