Answer 1

The answer is 4. The absolute value of -9 is 9.

The absolute value of positive numbers is just the number itself. 

For a negative number, the absolute value is found by removing the negative sign. 

 

Absolute value is the distance from 0 on a number line. Whether its a negative number or positive number INSIDE the absolute value, the absolute value always becomes positive.
