Let $V$ be a normed vector space and I need to prove the follwing inequality $mid parallel x parallel - parallel y parallel mid$ $leqq$ $parallel x-y parallel$ containing the norm and the absolute value of the real numbers. However things just get twisted and I cannot see how to prove it.... Could anyone please tell me how to prove it?

$||x||=||x-y+y|| le ||x-y||+||y||$, hence



$(1)$ $||x||-||y|| le ||x-y||$.



In a similar way we get



$(2)$ $||y||-||x|| le ||y-x||$.



Since $||y-x||=||x-y||$, $(1)$ and $(2)$ give the result.

    The downvote is because it looks like it didn't occur to you to that may be, during its 8 years of existence, the site has already handled the triangle inequality. IMO it is not useful to repeat material already explained multiples of times. And "downvote" = "this answer is not useful" right click it to see the explanation.
