Absolute Value Worksheets - 15 Worksheets Library - Free Printable

Let's solve each problem step by step. The task is to subtract each expression and then find the absolute value of the result.

🔹 What is Absolute Value?

The absolute value of a number is its distance from zero on the number line, regardless of direction. So:
- $ |x| = x $ if $ x \geq 0 $
- $ |x| = -x $ if $ x < 0 $

So for any expression inside absolute value bars, we first compute the value, then take its absolute value.

1. $ |-32 - 25| = |-57| = 57 $

2. $ |-15 - 14| = |-29| = 29 $

3. $ |25 - (-12)| = |25 + 12| = |37| = 37 $

4. $ |-25 - 15| = |-40| = 40 $

5. $ |45 - (-12)| = |45 + 12| = |57| = 57 $

6. $ |-12 - 15| = |-27| = 27 $

7. $ |23 - (-19)| = |23 + 19| = |42| = 42 $

8. $ |-15 - (-25)| = |-15 + 25| = |10| = 10 $

9. $ |25 - 16| = |9| = 9 $

10. $ |-31 - (-25)| = |-31 + 25| = |-6| = 6 $

11. $ |40 - (-55)| = |40 + 55| = |95| = 95 $

12. $ |23 - 49| = |-26| = 26 $

13. $ |-10 - (-52)| = |-10 + 52| = |42| = 42 $

14. $ |-23 - 49| = |-72| = 72 $

15. $ |15 - (-58)| = |15 + 58| = |73| = 73 $

16. $ |-68 - (-35)| = |-68 + 35| = |-33| = 33 $

17. $ |23 - (-22)| = |23 + 22| = |45| = 45 $

18. $ |45 - (-52)| = |45 + 52| = |97| = 97 $

19. $ |125 - 105| = |20| = 20 $

20. $ |125 - (-15)| = |125 + 15| = |140| = 140 $

21. $ |-98 - 49| = |-147| = 147 $

22. $ |-55 - 45| = |-100| = 100 $

23. $ |49 - (-22)| = |49 + 22| = |71| = 71 $

24. $ |125 - (-25)| = |125 + 25| = |150| = 150 $
