Question

What's |5| + |–7|?

Question 17 options:

A)

–12

B)

2

C)

12

D)

–2

Answer 1

C

Explanation:

Absolute value is always positive because it is the distance from 0. Distance is always positive, so you can cross out D and A.

The distance from -7 to 0 is 7. The distance from 5 to 0 is 5.

7 + 5 = 12, so the answer is C.

Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

Answer:12

Step-by-step explanation: -7 is in a modulus so it becomes positive and you get 5+7=12

You should research modulus throughly because you'll meet them everywhere especially at complex numbers.

Good luck
