Answer:

27.9

Step-by-step explanation:

As you can see they both have an absolute value because they are both in between the 2 lines. So you have to change both of them into a positive number. You would get 5.9+22 which would equal 27.9

27.9

the lines on the outside are absolute value bars meaning anything on the inside is positive. making |5.9| = 5.9 and |-22|= 22.
5.9+22= 27.9

hope this helps :’)
