Understanding Absolute Value and Negatives

The video tutorial explains the concept of absolute value, demonstrating how to find it using a number line. It provides examples with both positive and negative numbers and explores expressions involving absolute value. The tutorial also introduces additive inverses, explaining how they are perfect opposites that sum to zero. Finally, it combines the concepts of absolute value and additive inverses, showing how they interact in mathematical expressions.
