im having trouble explaining the difference between opposites and absolute value with this problem. -(-x) and -|-x| if x = 1

OpenStudy (jackthegreatest):

ok here is the difference absolute value makes all negatives positive

OpenStudy (jackthegreatest):

-|-x| = -|-1| = -1

OpenStudy (jackthegreatest):

-(-x)= -(-1)= 1

OpenStudy (killerxxqueen):
