First subtract -10 - 3 @kaylee_swag

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-7?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is it right @iGreen

OpenStudy (phi):

no -10+3 is -7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

^^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So is -7 the answer??

OpenStudy (phi):

no. -10 - 3 means you start at -10 and then take away 3 more (you become more negative)

OpenStudy (phi):

it's like its -10 degrees outside, and then gets 3 degrees colder

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-13?

OpenStudy (igreen):

Yep, you got it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:D

OpenStudy (phi):

yes. -13 but that is inside the absolute value | |

OpenStudy (igreen):

So we have: |-13| The absolute value signs make it positive, so what's your answer gonna be?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-13

OpenStudy (igreen):

No..

OpenStudy (phi):

the | | makes the inside positive.

OpenStudy (igreen):

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

OpenStudy (igreen):

-13 is negative, not positive

OpenStudy (anonymous):
