Given a = 4 and b = -2, evaluate -|b - a|. Please help!

1 answer:

6 0

The answer is: - 6 .
_____________________________________________

Evaluate the value INSIDE the "bars".
b - a = -2 - 4 = -6 . The absolute value of the value inside inside the bars is the "positive" number of that value. The value is negative 6; so, the absolute value, or "magnitude", of "-6", is "6"; Then, then "-" (6) = -6. So the answer is: -6 .

You then find 30% of this, so times 384.85 by 30%.
