No, the comparison |12| > |-13| is not the same as 12 > -13.
The expression |12| means the absolute value of 12, which is the positive value of 12, equal to 12.
On the other hand, the expression |-13| means the absolute value of -13, which is the positive value of -13, equal to 13.
So, the comparison |12| > |-13| means "the absolute value of 12 is greater than the absolute value of -13". This is true, since 12 is indeed greater than 13.
In the comparison 12 > -13, you are comparing the actual values of 12 and -13. This is also true, since 12 is greater than -13.
