Question

Evaluate this. SHOW FULL WORK!!!

Answer 1

To evaluate the statement, the first step is to plug in the values of the variables into every spot where the variable is in the problem.

|4(-2) + 5|

After that, we simplify.

|-8 + 5| = |-3|

Because the -3 is in absolute value symbols, we need to take the absolute value of -3.

|-3| = 3

Therefore, the answer to the problem is 3.
