What do the double brackets mean? Thanks for your help. Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! simplify the following: -||-4| + |-21||
This is what it looks like to me:
-[|-4| + |-21|]
------------------
If that is true you have "absolute value" terms;
you do not have double brackets.
-----------------------
= -[4 + 21]
= - 25
