Anything more or less than 1 would result in a different outcome, and anything times 1 results in itself.
-|20| + |5| = -15
Steps:
Apply absolute rule: |a| = a, a >/ 0
|20| = 20
= -20+5
Apply absolute rule: |a| = a, a >/ 0
|5| = 5
= -20+5
Refine
= -15

2(3-4a) + 5(a-7) first do the distributive property
6-8a + 5a-35 now combine like terms
-41 - 3a is the final answer
It should be 555^3=170953875
