Answer 1

[See Below]

Explanation:

Rewrite:

* |2 + 3 x -4|

Solve:

* 2 + 3 = 5

* 5 x -4 = -20

Now solve using absolute value:

* -20 = 20

(With absolute value it's just a short way of saying no negatives or fractions. It'd be the whole number of the number. Another example of this would be 8/1; the absolute value would be 8.)
