Question

Find the value of $-\left|15-10\right|$

Answer 1

Let's find the value of $-\left|15-10\right|$

Let's add additive integer of $10=(-10)$ to $15$

If the given numbers are of unlike signs, let's subtract the absolute values directly and give the sign of the largest absolute valued integer to the result.

So, $-\left|15+(-10)\right|=-\left|5\right|$

Since absolute value of a number denotes the distance between zero and that number in a number line.

So,

$-\left|5\right|=-5$

Hence, the answer is $-5$
