Comparing Absolute Value Expressions in Inventory

An inventory coordinator is auditing two ledger entries. Entry A is a credit of 2 units, and Entry B is a correction recorded as the expression −∣−2∣-|-2| units. To determine which entry has a larger numerical impact, the coordinator simplifies the expression. Based on this simplification, state whether 2 is greater than, less than, or equal to −∣−2∣-|-2|.
