Absolute value of a number x is the distance between x and 0 on the number line. Since distance is never negative, absolute value is never negative.

By definition, the absolute value of a non-negative number is the number itself, and the absolute value of a negative number is the additive inverse of that number (the negative number multiplied by -1). The absolute value of a number can never be less than zero.
