Answer:

G. 12

Explanation:

Step 1: Use PEMDAS to start solving

  • Start solving by following the following:
  1. P: Parentheses
  2. E: Exponents
  3. M: Multiplication [or]
  4. D: Division
  5. A: Addition [or]
  6. S: Subtraction
  • *Note: After solving any exponents, you solve from left to right. Also, when solving from left to right multiplication or division can be solve; it depends on which one occurs first. The same goes for addition and subtraction; if subtraction occurs before addition, then you subtract first.

Step 2: Solve the problem

  • *Note: Absolute value is considered the same as parentheses.

  • 5-|7-9|+3^(2)

  • 5-|-2|+3^(2)
  • *Note: Absolute value is the distance a number is from zero, so it is always positive.

  • 5-2+3^(2)

  • 5-2+9

  • 3+9

  • =12
