What is the value of the expression \(|-20| - |6|\)?

|a|= \left\{\begin{array}{ccc}a&if&a\geq0\\-a&if&a < 0\end{array}\right\\\\\\|-20|-|6|=20-6=14

The expression |-20| - |6| equals 14, which is found by subtracting the absolute value of 6 from the absolute value of -20.
The value of the expression |-20| - |6| is calculated by first finding the absolute value of each number. The absolute value of a number is the non-negative value of the number without regard to its sign. So, the absolute value of -20 is 20, and the absolute value of 6 is 6.
Next, we subtract the absolute value of 6 from the absolute value of -20:
20 - 6 = 14
Therefore, the value of the expression |-20| - |6| is 14.

The value of the expression ∣ − 20∣ − ∣6∣ is 14 , which is obtained by computing the absolute values of − 20 and 6 first, giving 20 and 6 respectively, and then subtracting them.
