Question

5|2-8| PLEASE HELP and explain how to do a problem like this :/

Answer 1

30

Explanation:

| | means absolute value. It means how many spaces a point is away from 0. An easier way to do this is that any positive number is the same, and all negative numbers are positive.

For example:

|1|=1

|-1|=1

|-1000|=1000.

5|2-8| = 5 * (|2-8|).

|2-8| = |-6|=6

5*6=30

so the answer is 30

hope this helps
