Question

Help me please please please

Answer 1

You know a=-5 so you can plug this value of a into your equation,

|4(-5)-2| +(-5) - 5

You would then multiply 4 and -5 together in the absolute value,

|-20 - 2| +(-5) - 5

You would then combine -20 and -2 by adding them together,

|-22| +(-5) - 5

You would then, since -22 is under absolute value bars, make it just 22,

22 +(-5) - 5

You would then add 22 to -5 which would give you 17,

17 - 5

Finally, you would subtract 5 from 17,

12 is your final answer
