Answer:

|-14| + |10| = 24

|-14 + 10| = 4

Explanation:

The sum of each absolute value makes the values positive before adding them together, producing 24.

For the second one, you have to find the sum then take the absolute value afterwards. The sum of -14 and 10 is -4 and the absolute value makes -4 positive, producing 4.
