Depends on what numbers you are using if its negative 5 and positive 5, yes but if you are talking about negative 3 and positive 10, no. absolute value has something to do with the numbers distance to zero

Adrienne Murray · Answer 2

Yes for example 85 and 115. They both have the same distance from 100. 15.

85 plus 15 equals 100 and 115 minus 15 equals 100.
