Question

Evaluate the following expression when n = 6.
|n - 6| - |5 - n|

Answer 1

|n-6|-|5-n|

=|6-6|-|5-6|

=|0|-|-1|

=0-1

=-1

Answer 2

-1

Explanation:

1. Substitute n with 6 because n=6

2. Then you simply solve both sides so (6-6)-(5-6) because n=6

3.so then you get the absolute value of 0 subtracted by the absolute values of -1

4. So because all absolute values change it to positive you get 0-1 instead of 0- - 1

5. So the final answer is -1

Sorry if this was confusing, I’m really bad at explaining. :)
