Question

How do you evaluate `abs(-15)`?

Answer 1

`abs(-15) = 15`

Explanation:

`abs(-15)` or 'absolute value of 15' means the distance that `-15` is away from 0, regardless of whether it is to the positive or negative side.

As it is a distance it does not have a sign,

`abs(-15) = 15`

You just take the actual size of the number.
