Evaluate each algebraic expression for x = 2 and y= -5. |x+y|

검증된 단계별 안내

Identify the given values: \(x = 2\) and \(y = -5\).

Substitute the values of \(x\) and \(y\) into the expression \(|x + y|\) to get \(|2 + (-5)|\).

Simplify inside the absolute value by performing the addition: \(2 + (-5) = 2 - 5\).

Calculate the result of the addition inside the absolute value: \(2 - 5 = -3\).

Evaluate the absolute value of the result: \(|-3|\), which is the distance from zero on the number line.

주요 개념

질문에 올바르게 답하기 위해 반드시 이해해야 하는 핵심 개념들은 다음과 같습니다.

Substitution in Algebraic Expressions

Substitution involves replacing variables in an expression with given numerical values. This process allows you to evaluate the expression by performing arithmetic operations with the substituted numbers.

Absolute Value

The absolute value of a number is its distance from zero on the number line, always expressed as a non-negative value. For example, |x + y| means you first compute x + y, then take the absolute value of the result.

Order of Operations

Order of operations dictates the sequence in which parts of an expression are evaluated, typically parentheses first, then addition or subtraction, followed by multiplication or division. Correctly applying this ensures accurate evaluation of expressions like |x + y|.
