The correct answer is 10.
To solve the problem, we first evaluate the absolute values separately:
|12)(−8)| = |-96| = 96
|10−4| = |6| = 6
Then we add the absolute values together:
96 + 6 = 102
So, the final answer is 10.
To solve this mathematical problem involving absolute value, follow these steps:
Step 1: Simplify the expressions within the absolute value signs.
The expression |-96| simplifies to 96 since the absolute value of any negative value is its positive counterpart. Additionally, |10 - 4| simplifies to 6.
Step 2: Add the simplified expressions.
96 + 6 equals 102.
Therefore, the final answer is 102.
