Question

Simplify: |3 – 8| - (12 divided by 3 + 1) to the power of 2

Answer 1

Answer:

-4

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that the following equation is correct, begin by solving the operations within parentheses and absolute value expressions.

|3 - 8| - $(\frac{12}{3+1} )^2$

|-5| - $(\frac{12}{4} )^2$

The absolute value of -5 is 5; -5 is five units away from 0. 12/4 is equal to 3.

5 - $3^2$

5 - 9 = -4

The simplified expression is equal to -4.
