Answer:
-5,-8,-11,-14,-17
Step-by-step explanation:
-3n -2
n=1 -3(1) -2 = -3-2 = -5
n=2 -3(2) -2 = -6-2 = -8
n=3 -3(3) -2 = -9-2 = -11
n=4 -3(4) -2 = -12-2 = -14
n=5 -3(5) -2 = -15-2 = -17
Absolute value means ignore negative signs, so #38 is asking is 282 greater or less than 279. it's greater. #39 is negative of |-10| the absolute value signs work as parentheses too, so it's -(10) so -10
