What is the value of the expression |x| + |y + z| when x = –7, y = 8, and z = –11? MEDAL+FAN

OpenStudy (igreen):

|-7| + |8 - 11| First simplify 8 - 11

OpenStudy (ilovecake):

-3

OpenStudy (igreen):

Yes, so we have: |-7| + |-3| The absolute value signs make the values positive..so what should it be?

OpenStudy (ilovecake):

10

OpenStudy (igreen):

Yep, you got it.
