Do you know what an absolute value is?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I plugged in -3, getting |3-(-3)| + |-4| - |-(-3)|
Parth (parthkohli):
Always remember that the absolute value of both negatives and positives is a positive. For example:
\(|-4| = 4\)
\(|4| = 4\)
Parth (parthkohli):
|3 - (-3)| + |-4| - |-(-3)|
Parth (parthkohli):
|0| + |-4| - |3|

Sure.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I got 1, -1 but those are incorrect?
OpenStudy (lgbasallote):
i think you did 6 - 4 - 3
Parth (parthkohli):
These are basic computations.
Compute these for me, please:
1)|6|
2)|-4|
3)|-(-3)|
