Question

.The value of |(-20)-(-4)| anwer me fast I will mark you as a Brainlist​

Answer 1

Answer:

=> -16

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:-

( -20 ) - ( -4 )

To find:- The value of ( -20 ) - ( -4 ) = ?

In order to solve the expression, we have to use the BODMAS concept.

B - Brackets

O - order

D - division  

M - multiplication  

A - addition  

S - subtraction

As we have,

=> ( -20 ) - ( -4 )

By further calculating it, we get

=> ( -20 ) + ( 4 )

=> -16

Hence, the required solution is -16.

Answer 2

|(-20)-(-4)|  = 16

Given:

• |(-20)-(-4)|

To Find:

• Evaluate the expression

Solution:

| x |  = x   if  x ≥ 0  other wise -x

Mod of any non zero number is always positive

Mod gives the absolute value.

Absolute value of a number is the distance between the number and a zero on a number line.

|(-20)-(-4)|

Step 1:

Remove unnecessary parenthesis

|-20-(-4)|

Step 2:

When there is a  in front of an expression in parentheses, change the sign of each term in the expression hence:  -(-4) = +4

| -20 + 4 |

Step 3:

Calculate the sum

| -16 |

Step 4:

Find the absolute value

16

Hence, |(-20)-(-4)|  = 16
