Question

Simplify -52 + 8|-1| + (-3)

Answer 1

Answer is -47

First take the 8|-1|
anything between the lines is turned positive. therefore it simplifys to just 8 * 1
so now we have -52 + 8 + (-3)
-52 + 8= -44
-44+(-3)=-47

Answer 2

| -1| = 1 (absolute value always make it positive)

therefore

8 x 1 = 8

-52 - 3 = -55

-55 + 8 = -47

-47 is your answer

hope this helps
