Question

Can someone please please please help me with absolute values?

Answer 1

\[\93| - \-65|\]

Answer 2

Ugh ignore the redness.

Answer 3

make the number inside the | | positive and get rid of the | |
example
| 2 | - |-1| --> +2 - +1 or 2-1= 1

Answer 4

Ok how about this one?\[-\74-46| + \26-33|\]

Answer 5

first do the arithmetic inside the | |
then make the answer positive (if it isn't already) and get rid of the | |
then finish the problem

Answer 6

So I ignore all the - and make everything positive?

Answer 7

not exactly. You keep the minus signs that are outside the | |

example:
- | -2| --> - (+2) = -2 the | -2| becomes +2, but the - outside makes it -2

Answer 8

Ok thank you so much! :D
