Answer:

-11

Explanation:

Those lines are called Absolute Value which can be thought of the distance of the number away from zero.

| -2 - 3 | - 24/3 x 2

1) first we solve the absolute value.

| -5 | -24/3 x 2

2) then we know absolute value is the number from 0 so -5 would be +5 and we can remove the lines because we solved the absolute value.

5 -24/3 x 2

3) solve.

5 - 8 x 2

5 - 16

-11

Have a great day or night :)

Answer:

The lines mean "Absolute Value"

Explanation:

"Absolute Value" is always positive. So the problem is actually, 2+3-24/3*2

Only the term "-2-3" is inside the lines so they are the only numbers that have to be or change to positive.
