Let's try this. First, we have the absolute value of -4(-2)-8, or the absolute value of 8-8, so 0. Let's forget about that, now. It's 0, it adds no value. Let's not worry about it. For the next, we see the absolute value of -1-(-2)^2 Or: -1-4, or -5. Next is 2(-2)^2, or 2(4) = 8. Therefore, we have -5+8 =3. If you see any errors, let me know. Otherwise, I hope this helps!
