Work Step by Step
For this problem, we always must do the addition and subtraction within the absolute value brackets first, and then use the definition of absolute value to break down the brackets.
$\frac{| x |}{x}$ + $\frac{| y |}{y}$
=$\frac{| 2 |}{2}$ + $\frac{| -5 |}{-5}$
=$\frac{ 2 }{2}$ + $\frac{5 }{-5}$
= 1 - 1
=0
