Solve what is in the absolute value working from left to right and then take the absolute value of the value
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I am so confused lol
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Solve -5-4-3 and then take the absolute value of the number which is always positive
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so 12?The only options are 2,4 and 6.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
OK, so -12 and then the absolute value which is |-12| = 12

but.. but it's 12 :c
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Maybe I'm just dumb lmfao.
Given a = -3 and b = 4 and c = -5, evaluate |c - a - b|.
2
4
6
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I don't see how it could be anything but 12
zepdrix (zepdrix):
Oh you silly billy....
OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm sorry! lol
OpenStudy (anonymous):
that will change the answer
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so what you have now is | -5 - (-3) - 4 | = |-5 + 3 - 4| = |-2 - 4| = |-6| = 6
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I hope that you can follow
OpenStudy (anonymous):
