Question

Evaluate the expression if m = − 4 , n = 1 , p = 2 , q = − 6 , r = 5 , and t = − 2 . − | 10 − 7 r + 8 m + 2 p |

Answer 1

-53

Explanation:

if m = − 4 , n = 1 , p = 2 , q = − 6 , r = 5 , and t = − 2

-| 10 - 7r + 8m + 2p |

Substitute the given values into the equation.

-| 10 - 7(5) + 8(-4) + 2(2) |

Simplify

-| 10 - 35 + -32 + 4) |

-| -53 |

= -53

Absolute value of -53 is 53 however there is a negative sign outside of it, so the answer is -53
