When a negative number is subtracted from a positive number is the difference always positive?
Yes, a negative number subtracted from a positive number will always be positive. Subtracting a negative number is the same as adding the opposite of the negative number. The opposite of a negative number is always positive. A positive number plus a positive number is always positive.
How do Absolute value of a number and it's opposite compare?
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.
Does every number have an opposite?
It depends on what you mean by an opposite. Every real number has an additive opposite but 0 does not have a multiplicative opposite.

The answer depends on whether you mean additive opposite (TRUE) or multiplicative opposite (FALSE).
