Question 304584: Okay, I am in the 6th grade && i'm learning absolute value. On your sight it kind of made me think that you were saying that a negitive number would be positive - witch is right, but then it said something like a positive number would alway's be negitive. I talked to my math teacher about this && he said that the information you posted was wrong. You made it seem more like you were talking about how to slove the positive/negitive number line thing. && I might be wrong about this, but can you please just reveiw what you wrote because If it is wrong alot of other kid's could be following what you wrote. Well that's pretty much it. Please email me regarding this qustion/statement. Thank you for takeing the time to read this.

You have to tell us which tutor said the things you mentioned.
