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

pooja195 (pooja195):

\[\huge~\rm~|−7|+|−8−11|\]

pooja195 (pooja195):

\[\huge~\rm~ 7+|−8−11|\] The absolute value of -7 is 7 so we take out the bars an replace with 7

pooja195 (pooja195):

Next solve whats in the bars -11-8= ?

OpenStudy (jackthegreatest):

-19

OpenStudy (jackthegreatest):

and since its in bars, that is 19

OpenStudy (jackthegreatest):

7 +19 is ur answer

pooja195 (pooja195):

You didnt need to do the problem for them.

OpenStudy (triciaal):

process is correct but in the original y = 8 not -8
