    The absolute value of a number is never a negative number because absolute value describes the distance of a number on the number line from 0 without considering which direction from zero the number lies. The absolute value of a number is never negative.

    Because when you find the absolute value you're finding the distance a number is from zero without considering its sign ( + or - ).
