Statement: Opposites are the same distance from zero on the number line in the opposite directions.
Answer: True
For example, -7 and 7 are both seven units away from 0. They are on opposite sides of 0.

Statement: Absolute value is the number's distance from zero.
Answer: True
Absolute value is never negative. So the result is either 0 or positive. Going back to the first example above, we could use absolute value to say |-7| = 7 and |7| = 7, showing we get the same distance.
Answer:
true
Step-by-step explanation:
It doesn’t matter if a number is postive or negative, the distance from zero is always positive. It’s like walking: you can take steps backwards but the number of steps you take is still positive.
