To find the absolute value of a number, you simply look at how far that number is from zero on a number line. It doesn't matter if the number is positive or negative; the distance is always positive.
Here is the simple rule:
- If the number is positive (like 5), the absolute value is just the number itself (5).
- If the number is negative (like -5), you remove the negative sign to make it positive (5).
