absolute value= the distance a number is from 0 on a number line....for example:
the absolute value of -4 is 4, because it is four numbers away from 0 on the number line.
opposites are like -4 is the opposite of 4.

|-2|=+2, |2|=+2, it's the distance from 0 on a number line(so always positive). Opposite of -1=+1, +1=-1, the distance from zero, but the direction is reversed(always the opposing sign; + to -, - to +).

|-4|
</-4/-3/-2/-1//+1/+2/+3/+4/>
It's 4 from 0, so the absolute value of -4 is 4

Opposite of -4
</-4/-3/-2/-1//+1/+2/+3/+4/>
-4 is 4 from 0, +4 is 4 from 0 in the opposite direction, so the opposite of -4 is 4.

well absolute value is somethign that will ALWAYS be positive. for example the absolute value of 7-9 is 2 even though the answer is -2 it's always positive so it woudl just be 2 =)
