QUESTIONS
1. Think about |-4 | times 5. Is this greater than, equal to, or less than 10?
2. Evaluate (-20) times | 17 - 43| .
3. What is the value of minus |7 | ?
4. Simplify 3 |53 - 42|.
ANSWERS
1. The |-4 | x 5 = 4 x 5 = 20. 20 is greater than 10.
2. The second term is | 17 - 43| = |-26| = 26. Then -20 x 26 = -520.
3. Minus 7. The |-7 | is 7, to which you then apply the minus.
4. 3 |53 - 42| = 3 |9| = 27.
