Simplify the expression: l-4+3-9l

Hi!

When numbers are in a box like that, it's their absolute value, which is their distance from 0. So it doesn't matter if it's positive or negative.

Solve.

|-4 + 3 - 9|

|-1 - 9|

|-10|

10

The answer is 10.

Hope this helps! :)

The answer to the problem is 10 since it is wanting the absolute value of the answer.
