Question

IF X=-2/5 AND Y=3/10, WHAT IS THE VALUE OF |-X+Y|

Answer 1

Answer:

0.7   OR   $\frac{7}{10}$

Step-by-step explanation:

   -X+Y

= -($\frac{-2}{5}$) + $\frac{3}{10}$

= $\frac{2}{5}$ + $\frac{3}{10}$

= $\frac{4 + 3}{10}$

= $\frac{7}{10}$

= 0.7

Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{7}{10}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Aim: To find the value of |-X+Y|

Note: When any variable or number comes under these lines such that it becomes |X|, then it represents its absolute value. It means that number will be positive.

Given:

X = $\frac{-2}{5}$

Y = $\frac{3}{10}$

Solving the expression:

|-X+Y| = $-(\frac{-2}{5}) + \frac{3}{10}$

          = $\frac{2}{5} + \frac{3}{10}$

          = $\frac{4}{10} + \frac{3}{10}$

          = $\frac{7}{10}$

Therefore, the solution is $\bold{\frac{7}{10}}$.
