The absolute value is the distance between a number and 0. The distance between 0 and 54 is 54.

| 54 | = 54 <==

the absolute value of a number is just how far away that number is from 0. An absolute value of a number will always be positive.
In fact, | -54 | is also 54...because it is 54 spaces from 0 going the other way on a number line.
