Answer: Yes it is equal.

Explanation:

when a number is an absolute, always assume it is possitive number.

Example: l-2l = 2 or l2l = 2

i hope that made sense.

Answer:

Equal

Explanation:

The absolute value of any number is the same as the value between the lines, but instead, it is positive. The lines (|x|)represent the amount of units/numbers |-5| and |-(-5)| is away from 0. They are both 5 numbers away from it, so it is equal.
