A. this is correct. as the negative of an aboslute value is the negative of the number, so |-10| = 10 an -|-10| = -10
B. incorrect, as the absolute value of 10 is simply 10.
C. incorrect, the negative of a negative is a positive. the parantheses are not absolute values.
D. incorrect, the absolute value of a negative is a positive.
So the answer is A.

Only A is equal to -10
|10| = 10 because getting the absolute value of a number is by making the sign possitive.
-(-10) = 10 because it is similar to -1 x -10 =10
| -10 | = 10 as stated above, change the sign to possitive

only A,
A States that it is the opposite sign of the quantity following, and as the absolute value (the distance the number is from zero) of any negative is always positive (since any distance MUST be positive), so the opposite sign of a positive is a negative. So the answer is negative ten
B states simply the absolute value of 10, which is positive ten/
C is the opposite sign of negative ten, which is positive ten
D is the absolute value of negative ten, whos distance is ten away from zero, so positive ten.
