Question

Find the value of.

$-\left|9-4\right|$

Answer 1

Finding the value of the given expression:

We have to find the value of $(-\left|9-4\right|)$

First, we will find the absolute value of $\left|9-4\right|$

Therefore,

$$\begin{gathered} \left|9-4\right| \\ =\left|9+(-4)\right| \\ =\left|5\right| \end{gathered}$$

The absolute value of an integer is the numerical value without regard to whether the sign is negative or positive. On a number line it is the distance between the number and zero.

Now, absolute value of $\left(5\right)$ i.e., $\left|5\right|=5$

Hence, $-|9-4|=-5$
