let's solve it here:



1 + 2 + 3

abs(-3+ 2) = abs(-1) = 1 Do inside the brackets first.

abs(-2) = 2 by definition. Absolute values are always plus in the end.

abs(-2 + -1) = abs(-3) = 3 I don't know what the _ means after the (-1)_ I'm taking it to mean nothing.

So adding these together, you get 1 + 2 + 3 = 6 That's the point you need on the number line.
