No waitt

Answer 6

|x| + |y + z| when x = –7, y = 8, and z = –11?

|-7| + |8 + -11|

Answer 7

its 11

Answer 8

|-7| + |8 + -11|
|8 + -11| = -3
-3 + -7 = -10

Answer 9

those bars represent the absolute value, meaning the distance of the origin (regardless if negative or not). So, -7 would be changed to 7, and -3 (the sum of 8+-11) would be changed to 3. Adding 7 and 3 together, you get 10.

Answer 10

Like i said
but the total answer is |-10|
because thats its absolute value.

Answer 11
