find the absolute value -2699 I'm confused on how to do this..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2699, it's how many numbers away it is from zero. get it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The absolute value of a number is the distance of a number from zero on the number line. Absolute value is always positive, since a distance is non negative.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

pretty much if it's a negative just remove the negative.
