Answer:
The lines mean "Absolute Value"
Step-by-step explanation:
"Absolute Value" is always positive. So the problem is actually, 2+3-24/3*2
Only the term "-2-3" is inside the lines so they are the only numbers that have to be or change to positive.
Answer:
-11
Step-by-step explanation:
Those lines are called Absolute Value which can be thought of the distance of the number away from zero.
| -2 - 3 | - 24/3 x 2
1) first we solve the absolute value.
| -5 | -24/3 x 2
2) then we know absolute value is the number from 0 so -5 would be +5 and we can remove the lines because we solved the absolute value.
5 -24/3 x 2
3) solve.
5 - 8 x 2
5 - 16
-11
Have a great day or night :)
