Are you going to help me @Chealyn98 ?

\[\Large -x - |y|\] \[\Large -(-3.5) - |y| \ ... \ \text{Step 1}\] \[\Large -(-3.5) - |10.6| \ ... \ \text{Step 2}\] Step 1) Replace every `x` with `-3.5`, this works because `x = -3.5` Step 2) Replace every `y` with `10.6`, this works because `y = 10.6` Step 3) Evaluate the expression `-(-3.5) - |10.6|` with a calculator. I'll let you do this step

MsBrains (ms-brains):

That's the step I need help on the most @jim_thompson5910

OpenStudy (chealyn98):

That's what I did

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

you just type the expression into a calculator here's a free one to use http://web2.0calc.com/

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Keep in mind that `-(-3.5)` is equal to `3.5` because the two negatives cancel to make a positive

MsBrains (ms-brains):

Oh okay! Thanks :) Can you help with the last one?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

and `|10.6| = 10.6` because the number "10.6" is exactly 10.6 units away from 0 on the number line |dw:1445311635762:dw|
