Answer 3

\[\Huge |-a| = a\]

Answer 4

12, becase the lines make anything negative positive

Answer 5

saifoo what you said is true if a>0
if a<0 then|-a|=-a
you could say |-a|=a when a>0 which it is here a=12
|-12|=12

Answer 6

Woah!
Myininya, can u elaborate please?

Answer 7

This is new for me! :D

Answer 8

if a<0, then |-a|=-a (if a is negative and we want a positive output we need a negative in front of a so our output is positive)
if a>0, then |-a|=a

Answer 9

for example if a=-12=> |-a|=-(-12) using the formula I just wrote

Answer 10

Myin I disagree with you. If a is a negative number (or any number) saifoo's equation is correct.
