Question

Evaluate the expression for f = –87 and g = 60.

g − |f| =

Answer 1

60 - 87 = -27

Explanation:

Hi! First when we have these problems, we always switch in the values.

60 - |-87| = ?

The absolute value is just how many places the number is away from 0 on the number line. (For example, |-4| is 4 away from 0 on the number line, so the absolute value of -4 is 4.)

60 - 87 = 27

Hope this helps!
