Question

Please simplify this equation​

Answer 1

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that the absolute value always returns a positive value, that is

| - a | = | a | = a, thus

| 34 - 49 | = | - 15 | = 15 and

| 17 - 24 | = | - 7 | = 7

The sum simplifies to

$\frac{15}{6}$ + $\frac{7}{3}$

Before adding the fractions must have a common denominator, thus

$\frac{15}{6}$ + $\frac{7(2)}{3(2)}$

= $\frac{15}{6}$ + $\frac{14}{6}$ = $\frac{29}{6}$ → B
