Absolute value means the distance a number is from zero on the number line.

|2|=2 because it is 2 units from zeroon the number line.
|-2|=2 becuase it is 2 units from zero on the number line.
Absolute value of a number is never negative.
Absolute value are straight lines around a number, juch as parenthesis are around a number.
