Question

|2+3(-4)|

I have absolutely no idea how to solve this, it is absolute value and order of operations. ​

Answer 1

10

Explanation:

alrighty so the order of operations are PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right)) so to start you would first multiply the 3 and the -4. you would then get |2-12| which would simply to |-10| which would then go down to 10 because everything inside those lines/brackets/sorry i forgot the technical term lol zero out except the whole number! does that make sense? :)

Answer 2

10

Explanation:

So we have the expression:

`|2+3(-4)|`

First, evaluate within the absolute value bars. 3 times -4 is -12. Thus:

`=|2-12|`

Now, subtract:

`=|-10|`

The absolute value of -10 is positive 10. So:

`=10`

And we're done!
