Understanding Absolute Value Concepts

The video tutorial introduces the concept of absolute value, explaining it as the distance a number is from zero on a number line. It uses real-world examples to illustrate that distance is always positive. The tutorial then evaluates and compares several absolute value expressions, demonstrating how to order them from least to greatest. The video concludes with a summary and encouragement to subscribe for more math tutorials.
