Jeremy says that the absolute value of 6 is -6.is he correct?explain

incorrect.

|x| is never negative.

I say that Jeremy is wrong because x is never negative so no he is not correct

No, Jeremy's statement is not correct. The absolute value of a number is always non-negative, which means it is either positive or zero. The absolute value of a number measures its distance from zero on the number line, disregarding whether the number is positive or negative.

In the case of the number 6, the absolute value is indeed 6. The distance from 6 to zero on the number line is 6 units, and since 6 is a positive number, its absolute value remains the same.

To verify or find the absolute value of a number, you can follow a simple rule: if the number is positive, the absolute value is the same as the number itself; if the number is negative, you change the sign to positive to find the absolute value.
