Question

Evaluate the expression if a = 2, b = -3, c = -4, h = 6, y = 4, and z = -1. ||2-b-h||-h a. 3 b. 7 c. 9 d. 11

Answer 1

The value of ||2-b-h||-h is 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's substitute the given values into the expression:

||2 - (-3) - 6|| - 6

Now, simplify the expression inside the absolute value:

||2 + 3 - 6|| - 6

Combine the numbers inside the absolute value:

||5 - 6|| - 6

Now, calculate the absolute value:

|(-1)| - 6

The absolute value of -1 is 1:

1 - 6

Finally, subtract 6 from 1:

1 - 6 = -5

So, the value of ||2-b-h||-h is -5.
