@Shanaronan how do i get to the math section? and the integer is 17

At the bottom of the page you'll see chat boxes, click the math section then click the top of the box that states Mathematics. The answer is either A or B because absolute value is ALWAYS positive...donno opposites.

Ah I guess they changed it since I was on last, up at the top hover over blue bar and it'll bring up the list of study sections

The absolute value is always positive.
The "opposite" value's definition I don't know but it is probably (-1) times the value: taking 17 to -17 and taking -17 to 17.

You should probably close the question, since it's irrelevant in this section. If you need math help, go to the 'Find More Subjects' on the top of the page, mid-left, and go to Mathematics.
