To evaluate the expression [tex]\( |-2| - |-1| \)[/tex], let's break it down step by step:
1. Compute the absolute value of -2:
[tex]\[
|-2| = 2
\][/tex]
2. Compute the absolute value of -1:
[tex]\[
|-1| = 1
\][/tex]
3. Subtract the absolute values:
[tex]\[
2 - 1 = 1
\][/tex]
Therefore, the value of the expression [tex]\( |-2| - |-1| \)[/tex] is [tex]\( 1 \)[/tex].
The correct answer is:
d.) 1
