Question

Please procedure and solution 2 x |-6|-3 x |2|+|-14|=​

Answer 1

Applying the rule of modulus for given values, the expression will result to 20.

What is Modulus or Absolute Values

The modulus of a value for example |a|=a if a is greater than or equal to zero

and also

|a|=-a if a is less than zero

In the expression given; the modulus of -6 written as

|-6|=-(-6) this is because the value is less than zero

The modulus of 2 written as; |2|=2 this is because the value is greater than zero. and;

|The modulus of -14 written as; |-14|= -(-14) since the value is less than zero.

Hence, we can rewrite the expression as;

we deal with multiplication first following the rules of BODMAS

2×-(-6)-3×2+[-(-14)]

2×6-6+14

and thus adding values

12+14-6

and finally we subtract;

26-6

which will results to the solution of 20.
