​​
Evaluate the following absolute value expression: |9-5|-|4-5|

A. 3
B. 5
C. -3

Answer 1

Answer:

Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following question:

$|9-5|-|4-5|$

To find the answer we have to remember that when finding the absolute value, we convert any negative that is within the lines into a positive if it isn't already a positive.

$|9-5|-|4-5|$
$|9-5|=9+5$
$|4-5|=4+5$
$9+5-4+5$
$9+5=14$
$14-4+5$
$4+5=9$
$14-9=5$
$=5$

Which means your answer is option B or "5".

Hope this helps!
