An absolute number is a number represented by numerals rather than letters. So, there is no ONE number. Here's the link for anyone who wants to argue:

Given any real number n:
if n > 0, |n| = n
if n < 0, |n| = -n
As you already realized, a double negative is a positive, so in plain English this means that |n| is always positive.
For example, if n = 5, |n| = |5| = 5
if n = -5, |n| = |-5| = -(-5) = 5

I-5I = 5
The absolute of any number (negative or positive) is itself in its positive form.
