Question

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

Answer 1

k just put the values they gave you into the variables in parenthesis, careful with the equation they gave you and keep the signs

a=-3
b=4
x=-5
\(\boxed{\color{blue}{-}|a\color{blue}{-}b| \color{blue}{+}c }\rightarrow \)\(\boxed{\color{red}{-}|(-3)\color{red}{-}(4)|\color{red}{+}(-5)}\rightarrow \color{green}{-}|-3\color{green}{-}4|\color{green}{+}-5\)

=> \(-|-3-4|-5\) <- Is this more easier to solve or do you still need a walkthrough?
