Evaluate |-10| - |-8|
2
18
-2
The absolute value of -10 is 10, and the absolute value of -8 is 8.
So, |-10| - |-8| = 10 - 8 = 2.
To evaluate the expression |-10| - |-8|, we need to first find the absolute value of -10, and then find the absolute value of -8.
The absolute value of a number is its distance from zero on the number line, regardless of its sign.
The absolute value of -10 is 10 because it is 10 units away from zero on the number line in the negative direction.
The absolute value of -8 is 8 because it is 8 units away from zero on the number line in the negative direction.
Now, we can substitute the absolute values back into the expression:
|-10| - |-8| = 10 - 8 = 2.
Therefore, the value of the expression is 2.
To evaluate |-10| - |-8|, we need to find the absolute values of -10 and -8 first.
The absolute value of -10 is 10, since the absolute value of any negative number is the number itself without the negative sign.
The absolute value of -8 is 8, following the same logic.
Now we have |10| - |8|.
|10| is equal to 10.
|8| is equal to 8.
Therefore, the expression becomes 10 - 8.
10 - 8 equals 2.
So, |-10| - |-8| equals 2.
