Answer:

1 (the answer will always be 1)

Explanation:

Let's forget about the absolute value signs for a second and just look at what's inside


(x+y)/(-x-y)

This can be rewritten as


-(x+y)/(x+y)

When you have the same numerator and denominator, it will always come out to 1, so we can just say that this is saying


-(x+y)/(x+y) = -1

Now, back to the absolute value signs

This comes out to negative 1, but the absolute value signs means to always change the negative to a positive (but if it's a positive, it stays positive!)

So that means:


|-1| = 1

and 1 is your answer
