1 answer

The correct statement is:

StartAbsoluteValue 6 EndAbsoluteValue is the distance between 0 and 6, and the distance is always positive regardless of direction.

The absolute value of a number represents its distance from zero on a number line, which is always non-negative. So, \( |6| = 6 \) and that distance is positive.
