Dorinae is confused. She is making a x to y table for y=|x+1|. She is trying to find y when x = -3, but she is not sure if she should find the absolute value first, or if she should first add 1. What should she do first?

Absolute values are treated the same way as brackets, therefore, you have to add one first (complete inside the brackets)

i.e.
y = |(-3) + 1|
y = |-2|
y = 2
