Answer: Ths absolute value of -8 is 8 and 5 for 5.


Step-by-step explanation: The absolute value of any number is always positive. If it is a negative number, then it becomes positive like 8 being the absolute value of -8, since the value becomes positive. 5 is positive so its absolute value is 5.

The absolute value of -8 is 8 and the absolute value of 5 is 5. Absolute value is basically the number's distance from 0 on a number line, basically how many numbers it is away from 0. For that reason, it's always positive, regardless of whether or not the number is positive or negative. Hope this helped!
