Question

Given a=-3 b=4 and c=-5 evaluate -|a-b| + c

Answer 1

-12

Explanation:

Take the variables into the equation:

-|(-3)-4|+(-5)

The negative absolute value of -3 and 4 is -7.

-7+(-5)= -12

Answer 2

2

Explanation:

given that

a = -3

b = 4

c = -5

so, to evaluate for this expression -|a-b| + c simply insert the value of the variables and then evaluate , but always take note of the signs.

-(a-b) + c

- ( -3 - 4) + (-5)

use the negative sign - to open the bracket

note that

- x - = +

- x + = -

+ x + = +

so , from

= - ( -3 - 4) + (-5)

= 3 + 4 - 5

= 7 - 5

= 2

therefore the expression is evaluated tho b 2
