Integers and Absolute Value
- Integers are positive whole numbers, their opposites, and zero.
- The opposite of a number is a number that is the same distance from zero on the opposite side of a number line, such as −3 and 3.
- The absolute value of an integer is its distance from zero. It is always positive.
