my answer: -7 -|6-12|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its -6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6-12 is -6. the outside "brackets" change it to a positive. and then the outside - changes it back

OpenStudy (anonymous):

close -|6-12| - | 6|=-6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6-12 = -6, that - on the outside means nothing in this case, so its -6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh my error.. such an embarrassing error on my end

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh its no big deal :)

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Are you familiar with the definition of "absolute value" and the "opposite of a number?" @InsanelyChaotic

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes but not "opposite of a number"

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

opposite of a number: Each of the numbers in a pair such as 6 and -6 or -2.5 and 2.5. Also called additive inverse.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay noted.

OpenStudy (phi):

fyi brandon, the | | means absolute value. They are not parentheses or brackets.

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

@InsanelyChaotic So what is the opposite of 0??
