Simplify.

|–6 – 4| =

Answer 1

"Order of Operations" rules (PEMDAS) apply here. First, treat the absolute value
symbols | | as parentheses. What are you supposed to do first? Then what?

Answer 2

minus 6-4

Answer 3

@mathmale

Answer 4

"-6 -4?"

Answer 5

Your "minus 6 -4" is correct, although it'd be better written as -6-4.

What is -6-4?

Answer 6

-10 @mathmale

Answer 7

Good. Now, take the "absolute value" of -10.

}-10}=?

Answer 8

10

Answer 9

Very good. Remember, we did the addition of -6 and -4 first, because the absolute value operator | | constitutes "parentheses."
