The logic of a module versus the logic of parentheses

26 Views Asked by At

As far as I know, I can easily transform $ - (21x -7) $ into $ 7 - 21x $

But can I do the same with a module?

Would $ - |21x -7| $ also easily transform into $ 7 - 21x $? Or only transforming into $ -|7 - 21x| $ would be correct?
