find the value of
line x - y line
if x = 2 , y = -3
I got 5
it's supposed to be |x-y|
I don't know there's supposed to be 2 answers
5 is correct. I don't think there is another answer.
To find the value of |x - y|, substitute the given values of x and y into the expression and evaluate it.
Given:
x = 2
y = -3
Substitute these values into the expression |x - y|:
|x - y| = |2 - (-3)|
Simplify the expression inside the absolute value:
|x - y| = |2 + 3|
Evaluate the sum inside the absolute value:
|x - y| = |5|
The absolute value of 5 is always positive, so |5| = 5.
Therefore, the value of |x - y| is 5.
