Identify and Substitute z: Identify the value of z and substitute it into the expression.We are given that z=−2. We need to substitute −2 for z in the expression −1−(−z).
Substitute z in Expression: Substitute −2 for z in the expression.The expression becomes −1−(−(−2)).
Simplify Double Negative: Simplify the double negative inside the parentheses.The expression −(−2) becomes +2 because a negative times a negative is a positive.So, the expression now is −1+2.
Perform Addition: Perform the addition.Now we add −1 and 2 together.−1+2 equals 1.
