Question

Evaluate the expression when x=-2 and y=5 |x|-|y|-8.6|x|-|y|-8.6=

Answer 1

Given the expression:

$|x|-|y|-8.6$

Let's evaluate the expression when x = -2 and y = 5.

To evalaute the expression substitute -2 for x and 5 for y.

Where:

|-2| = 2

|5| = 5

Thus, we have:

$\begin{gathered} |-2|-|5|-8.6 \\ \\ =2-5-8.6 \\ \\ =-11.6 \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the value of the expression is -11.6

ANSWER:

-11.6
