Solve the Function Operation h(x)=|x-2| , h(13)

$h (x) = | x - 2 |$ , $h (13)$

Step 1

Replace the variable $x$ with $13$ in the expression.

$h (13) = | (13) - 2 |$

Step 2

Simplify $| (13) - 2 |$ .

Remove parentheses.

$| (13) - 2 |$

Subtract $2$ from $13$ .

$| 11 |$

The absolute value is the distance between a number and zero. The distance between $0$ and $11$ is $11$ .

$11$
