Given the expression:
[tex]|x|-|y|-8.6[/tex]Let's evaluate the expression when x = -2 and y = 5.
To evalaute the expression substitute -2 for x and 5 for y.
Where:
|-2| = 2
|5| = 5
Thus, we have:
[tex]\begin{gathered} |-2|-|5|-8.6 \\ \\ =2-5-8.6 \\ \\ =-11.6 \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, the value of the expression is -11.6
