Question

Evaluate the algebraic expression for v= 1 and r = 7
6r - |-8+v|

Answer 1

41

Explanation:

The absolute value function always gives a positive result, that is

| - a | = | a | = a

Given

6r - | - 8 + v | ← substitute v = 1 and r = 7 into the expression

= 6(7) - | - 8 + 1 |

= 42 - | - 1 |

= 42 - 1

= 41
