First,
|-13| represents the absolute value of the number 13. Absolute values cannot be negative. So |-13| cannot become -13, it would become 13.

So,
|-13| - |13| = -13 - 13 = 26 would become
|-13| - |13| = 13 - 13 = 0

1 minus StartFraction 1 Over x EndFraction divided by 2

Rewrite properly as:

$1 - \frac{1}{x} \div 2$

Express the division as product

$1 - \frac{1}{x} \times \frac 12$

Evaluate the product

$1 - \frac{1}{2x}$
