|10-11| = simplify the expression

1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's ignore the absolute value signs for a moment.

We have the expression . We know that if we subtract 10 from 10 we get 0, so if we subtract 11 from 10 we must get -1.

However, there is an absolute value sign. This means that whatever number is inside it has to be converted to a positive number.

-1 as a positive number is +1, or just 1.
