Question

Given R=−2, n=−3, t=3, evaluate ∣8−t∣+3
A) 10
B) 12
C) 14
D) 16

Answer 1

The evaluation of |8-t|+3 with t=3 results in 8, which is not included in the provided answer choices.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question provided requires evaluating an absolute value expression and then performing an addition. Given the values R=-2, n=-3, t=3, we need to evaluate |8-t|+3.

Firstly, we replace t with 3 to find the absolute value: |8-3|, which simplifies to |5|, and the absolute value of 5 is 5.

Now, we simply add 3 to our result: 5 + 3, which equals to 8.

None of the provided options A) 10, B) 12, C) 14, D) 16 match our result, which suggests there might have been a typo in the options or in the question.
