Question

Evaluate 1/3|-x+4|-6 when x=13

Answer 1

= -3

Explanation:

The absolute value signs in the expression cancel out any negative value inside. Therefore, substituting x = 13 into the expression:

`(1)/(3)|-(13)+4|-6 = (1)/(3)|-9|-6`

the negative and absolute value signs cancel out, and thus:

`=(1)/(3)(9)-6=3-6 =-3`
