Jonah Bean · Answer 1

|5| = 5.

Absolute Value is always positive.

Christina Hutchinson · Answer 2

The value of |5| is 5.

Asking the absolute value of a number is pretty much asking 'how many units away from zero is this number?' which is the reason why it's always positive.

|5| = 5, and |-5| = 5 because they are both 5 units away from 0.
