Question

Find the value of $|-25|$

Answer 1

Evaluate $|-25|$:

A number between two vertical bars represents the absolute value of the number.

The absolute value of a number or integer is the actual distance of the integer from zero, in a number line. The distance cannot be a negative number.

So, the absolute value of a number is always a positive value of that number.

That means, if $a$ is a positive number, then $|-a|=a$. Also, $|a|=a$.

$|-25|=25$ ( as the positive value of $-25$ is $25$ ).

Hence, the value of $|-25|$ is $25$.
