Comparing −(−10)-(-10) and ∣−10∣|-10|

To compare an opposite notation expression and an absolute value, such as −(−10)-(-10) and ∣−10∣|-10|, simplify both expressions independently. The expression −(−10)-(-10) resolves to the opposite of −10-10, which is 1010. The absolute value of −10-10 is also 1010. Since the simplified integers are equal (10=1010 = 10), it follows that −(−10)=∣−10∣-(-10) = |-10|.
