You are basically solving the above ^
Since they've told you that " b = 2" , this means that you just sub (plug) in 2 where the "b" is.
Basically REPLACE all the "b's" with 2 and solve :)
BUT you want to take note of the absolute value sign also...
OpenStudy (butterflydreamer):
So firstly, let's simplify the parts inside the first absolute sign " -4(2) - 8 "
What does -4(2) - 8 = ?
OpenStudy (jessiegonzales):
-8 - 8
OpenStudy (jessiegonzales):
-16?

yes :) Now can you see how that part was BETWEEN the absolute value sign?
Absolute value means you always take the POSITIVE of that value inside.
So \[\left| -4(2) - 8 \right| = \left| -8-8 \right|= \left| -16 \right| = 16 \]
OpenStudy (butterflydreamer):
\[\left| -1-(2)^2 \right| = ? \]
OpenStudy (jessiegonzales):
-5
OpenStudy (butterflydreamer):
remember, you take the "absolute value" of -5...
So \[\left| -1-(2)^2 \right| = \left| -5 \right| = 5 \]
And now solve the last part:
\[2(2)^3 = ? \]

32

i mean 24
OpenStudy (butterflydreamer):
not quite.
What does \[2^3 = ? \]
OpenStudy (jessiegonzales):
16
OpenStudy (butterflydreamer):
err nope.. \[2^3 = 2\times2\times2 = ? \]
OpenStudy (jessiegonzales):
8

yes and we wanted:
\[2(2)^3 = 2\times2\times2\times2 = ?\]
OpenStudy (jessiegonzales):
2(16)
OpenStudy (butterflydreamer):
2(2)^3 = 2 times 2 times 2 times 2 = 16
OpenStudy (jessiegonzales):
2^3=8
OpenStudy (butterflydreamer):
So now we solved the three parts of this equation : \[\left| -4(2) -8 \right| + \left| -1-(2)^2 \right| + 2(2)^3 \]
\[= 16 + 5 + 16 = ? \]

37
OpenStudy (butterflydreamer):
correcttt
OpenStudy (jessiegonzales):
final answer is 37??
OpenStudy (butterflydreamer):
yes
OpenStudy (jessiegonzales):
thankyou zoo much
