Question

Evaluate the expression for c = –34 and d = 307.

|c − d| =

Answer 1

To evaluate the expression \(|c - d|\) for \(c = -34\) and \(d = 307\), we can follow these steps:

1. Substitute the values of \(c\) and \(d\) into the expression:
\[
|c - d| = |-34 - 307|
\]

2. Perform the subtraction inside the absolute value:
\[
-34 - 307 = -341
\]

3. Now, find the absolute value of \(-341\):
\[
|-341| = 341
\]

Thus, the value of \(|c - d|\) is \(\boxed{341}\).
