Question

How do you evaluate `x-(x+y-abs(-x))` when x=-2, y=4?

Answer 1

`x-(x+y-|-x|)=-2`, when `x=-2` and `y=4`

Explanation:

Value of `x-(x+y-|-x|)`, when `x=-2` and `y=4` can be obtained by substituting these values.

`x-(x+y-|-x|)`

= `(-2)-((-2)+4-|-(-2)|)`

= `-2-(-2+4-|2|)`

= `-2-(-2+4-2)`

= `-2-0=-2`
