Question

I don’t understand how to do this. “Finding the absolute value of an expression”

Answer 1

So from what I see on the screen you have to find more than one way to solve for each problem but first you need to know what you are trying to solve for so lets go to the second problem

15+6

so 15 + 6 = 21 and now you can put 21 at the right end and in the middle you would make 2 different problems to put in the middle like 10+11 and 3 x 7

so it would look like this for the second one

[15+6] = 10+11 = 3 x 7 = 21

I hope this helps you and good luck. :D

Answer 2

To find the absolute value of an expression think of every number as a positve one. So if you see a number in parenthesis that is negative, make it a positive and then solve! If a number is already positive, it is already in its absolute value form.

For example:

(-4) + (2)= ?

We know that every number has to be positive to be absolute value so we would make -4 a 4 and 2 is already in absolute value so we will keep it as it is and solve.

4-2=?

Now we will solve the expression as normally which would be 2. Hope this helps!
