Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
20 - || - 13 | + 17 |
Note the absolute value function always returns a positive value, that is
| - a | = | + a | = a, thus
= 20 - | | - 13 |+ 17 |
= 20 - | 13 + 17 |
= 20 - | 30 |
= 20 - 30
= - 10 → A
Answer:
-10
Step-by-step explanation:
We know:
| a | = a for a ≥ 0
| a| = -a for a < 0
Examples:
|3| = 3, |10| = 10, |19.4| = 19.4, |0| = 0
|-4| = -(-4) = 4, |-10| = -(-10) = 10, |-23.5| = 23.5
We have:
20 - ||-13| + 17|
Step 1: | -13| = 13
Step 2: ||-13| + 17| = |13 + 17| = |30| = 30
Step 3: 20 - ||-13| + 17| = 20 - 30 = -10
