Question

If y>x, what is the value of ∣y−x∣?

a) y−x
b) x−y
c) x+y
d) y+x

Answer 1

The value of |y - x| is y - x.

Step-by-step explanation:

The absolute value of a difference between two numbers, |a - b|, is always positive. In this case, since y > x, the difference y - x will be positive. Therefore, the value of |y - x| will be equal to y - x.

So the correct answer is (a) y - x.
