Problem 85
Question
Find the value of each expression. $$-|-9-(-6)|-(-12)$$
Step-by-Step Solution
Verified Answer
The final result is 9.
1Step 1: Evaluate the arithmetic inside the absolute value
First add -9 and -(-6) which is equivalent to -9 + 6, and this equals -3.
2Step 2: Resolve the absolute value
Next, find the absolute value of -3, which is 3.
3Step 3: Subtraction
Now substitute the absolute value to the main equation which becomes -3 - (-12).
4Step 4: Final calculation
Lastly, subtract -(-12) from -3 to obtain the final result. In this case, it translates to -3 + 12.
5Step 5: Final Result
On basis of above steps, result for -3 + 12 is equal to 9. Thus, the final answer is 9
