    The absolute value of a number is how far away it is from 0 on a number line.

    Example) 2 is two numbers away from 0, but neg. 2 (-2) is also two numbers away from 0

    So basically. A positive number has the absolute value of itself. (2 = a value of 2) and negative numbers have the absolute value of the positive form of that number. (-9 = a value of 9)

    Numbers that have the absolute value of 2: 2 and - 2

    Numbers that have the absolute value of 4: 4 and - 4

    Numbers that have the absolute value of 9: 9 and - 9

    You are looking to add your numbers together to make a positive.

    So the answer is the positive answers to the absolute values: 2,4,9

    2+4+9=15

    15 is a positive number.
