I don't get this question at all. These few questions are the only ones I need help with since I don't get it at all.

I don't get it either. What comes after the equal sign?

To find the answer to this question, we can follow a step-by-step approach:

First, let's simplify the expression |x+1| - |x-1|:

|x+1| - |x-1| = (x+1) - (x-1)

Next, let's simplify further:

= x + 1 - x + 1

Notice that the x terms cancel out and we are left with:

= 2

So, the expression simplifies to 2.

Now, we can compare the result (2) with the answer choices given:

A. 4
B. 1
C. 0
D. -2

We can see that none of the answer choices match the result of 2. Therefore, the correct answer is none of the above.
