Question

Can someone walk me through this ?
Evaluate the expression: |8| - 2 x |-3| + 4
6
22
10
42

Answer 1

Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally

1. Step one would be to get rid of the X.. hold on don't you have the equals sign? One of your answer would have to have X in it.

Answer 2

First convert all of the absolute values to the positive version of that number

Answer 3

Yep !

Answer 4

First replace all of the absolute values with the positive version of that number

Answer 5

ok

Answer 6

\[|8|-2\times|-3|+4=8-2\times3+4\]
And then you just follow the order of operations

Answer 7

I dont think im doing something right i keep getting 2 as my answer

Answer 8

First you're going to multiply -2 by 3
P - Parentheses
E - Exponent
MD - Multiplication/division
AS - Addition/subtraction

Answer 9

ok i did that

Answer 10

Then you will have 8 -6 + 4

Answer 11

so according to PEMDAS I would take -6 and add 4 which would equal -10

Answer 12

addition and subtraction have the same precedence so you just go from left to right

Answer 13

-6 + 4 would be -2

If you have -6 on a number line and went to the right 4 spaces you would land on -2

Answer 14

oh! ok No wonder it wasnt right ! THANKS !

Answer 15

Yup :)
