Question

What is this?
|-45|÷(-9)×|-2|

Answer 1

-10

Explanation:

This problem uses absolute value symbols. Absolute value symbols mean that whatever value that falls within the symbol will result in a number greater than or equal to 0. For this equation, -45 and -2 are affected by the absolute value symbol.

Thus, you could write the equation as:

45÷(-9)×2

Now, solve as you normally would.

45÷(-9)=-5

-5×2=-10

Answer 2

The answer is -10

Remember that the absulate value cancels the negative sign.
