We know that the opposite is the additive inverse.

For example, 8+(−8)=0 where 0 is the identity for addition.

Given that we have to compute the sum of 5x+20 and the opposite.

Given

5x+20

opposite of 5x+20 = -(5x+20)

so

The sum of 5x+20 and the opposite:

5x+20 + -(5x+20)

Distribute the Negative Sign

Combine Like Terms

Therefore, the sum of 5x+20 and the opposite is: 0

Thus, the equivalent expression is:

Write each of the following expressions without using absolute value. |z−6|−|z−5|, if z<5
Andre45 [30]

Answer: 6 - 5

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

|z - 6| - |z - 5|    ; z < 5

Since z < 5, then

|z - 6| will be the absolute value of a negative number. Replace the absolute value with a negative and parentheses:

-(z - 6) =  -z + 6

|z - 5| will be the absolute value of a negative number. Replace the absolute value with a negative and parentheses:  

-(z - 5) = -z + 5

Now subtract them without the absolute value signs:

-z + 6 - (-z + 5)

Distribute the negative sign:

-z + 6 + z - 5

-z + z = 0 which leaves:

6 - 5
