Select and place the symbol that will make the statement true |-a| |a|

|-a|=|a|

Step-by-step explanation:

The lines beside the a's mean that you are trying to find the absolute value of what's inside. The absolute value of something is the distance it is from 0. You can't have a negative distance so anything inside of absolute value line are positive.

Therefor this is how we can solve this.

|-a| __ |a|

  a __ a

a=a
