Math Problem Statement

|5 - 13| - |-11|

Solution

The problem you're dealing with is an absolute value operation. The expression is:

51311| 5 - 13 | - | -11 |

Let's break it down step by step:

  1. Evaluate the first absolute value: 513=85 - 13 = -8 The absolute value of 8-8 is: 8=8| -8 | = 8

  2. Evaluate the second absolute value: 11=11| -11 | = 11

  3. Subtract the two results: 811=38 - 11 = -3

So, the final answer is 3-3.
