Question

Please simplify this equation​

Answer 1

B

Explanation:

Note that the absolute value always returns a positive value, that is

| - a | = | a | = a, thus

| 34 - 49 | = | - 15 | = 15 and

| 17 - 24 | = | - 7 | = 7

The sum simplifies to

`(15)/(6)` +
`(7)/(3)`

Before adding the fractions must have a common denominator, thus

`(15)/(6)` +
`(7(2))/(3(2))`

=
`(15)/(6)` +
`(14)/(6)` =
`(29)/(6)` → B
