Final answer:

To evaluate an expression with a square root and an absolute value, find the absolute value, and then proceed with subtraction. Errors in the original question prevent a direct evaluation, but a similar example with correct arithmetic is used to illustrate the process.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking to evaluate the expression involving the square root of 5 and the absolute value of a number (in this case, the number 13). To evaluate this expression, we first need to find the absolute value of 13, which is 13 itself since 13 is a positive number. After this step, we would proceed to subtract this value from the square root of 5 to get our final answer.

The original question seems to have a typo and is incomplete. However, if we consider a similar example, such as evaluating the expression square root of 9 minus absolute value of -4, we will first calculate the absolute value of -4, which is 4, and then the square root of 9, which is 3. Finally, we would subtract the absolute value from the square root to get 3 - 4 = -1 as the final answer.

Using rules of absolute value and subtraction:

  • The absolute value of a positive number is the number itself.
  • When subtracting, you change the sign of the subtracted number and apply addition rules.
