Question

Simplify |-3| + 6 ÷ (4 - 1) • 8.

8
13
19
24

Answer 1

C: 19

Explanation:

To start we would resolve the absolute value of
`|-3|`. We know that absolute value is the distance from zero so it would be 3.

Our new equation is
`3+6/(4-1)*8`

Now we need to solve in the order of PEDMAS starting with parenthesis to get
`3+6/3*8`

Next in PEDMAS we have Division/Multiplication since we don't have any exponents. We do all the division and multiplication left to right so we would divide to get
`3+2*8` and then multiply to get
`3+16`.

Finally, we only have addition left over so our answer would be
`19`
