Question

​​

Evaluate the following absolute value expression: |9-5|-|4-5|

A. 3
B. 5
C. -3

Answer 1

Option B

Explanation:

Given the following question:


`|9-5|-|4-5|`

To find the answer we have to remember that when finding the absolute value, we convert any negative that is within the lines into a positive if it isn't already a positive.


`|9-5|-|4-5|`

`|9-5|=9+5`

`|4-5|=4+5`

`9+5-4+5`

`9+5=14`

`14-4+5`

`4+5=9`

`14-9=5`

`=5`

Which means your answer is option B or "5".

Hope this helps!
