Answer 1

D. 48

The value of 3|–2x + y| when x = 6 and y = –4 is 48.

Answer 2

First, let’s plug in our x and y values.
3|-2(6) - 4|
simplify the inside of the absolute value brackets
3|-12 - 4|
3|-16|
Since the absolute value of -16 is 16, the equation looks like this:
3(16)
48.
The answer is D. 48
