Answer:

First we must figure out what the question means. It is asking how the absolute value of 3+10 is equivalent to the absolute value of 3 plus the absolute value of ten.

Next we should solve the expressions: The absolute value of 3 plus 10 is 13. The absolute value of 3 plus the absolute value of 10 is 13. 13 and 13 are the same number.

Therefore, the expressions are equivalent. Thus, having your answer.
