Question

If the value X is -1/4 what is the order of these expressions from least to greatest,X, 1 minus X, X minus one, negative one minus X

Answer 1

The given expressions are X, 1 - X, X - 1, and -1 - X.

Substituting X = -1/4 in each expression gives:

X = -1/4
1 - X = 1 - (-1/4) = 5/4
X - 1 = (-1/4) - 1 = -5/4
-1 - X = -1 - (-1/4) = -3/4

The expressions in order from least to greatest are:

X - 1, -1 - X, X, 1 - X

Therefore, the order of the expressions from least to greatest is X - 1, -1 - X, X, 1 - X.
