Evaluate |-14|+|-22|–|36|+|–36|.
14+22-36+36
go from left to right and solve
14+22-36+36= 36
To evaluate this expression, we need to find the absolute value of each number given and then perform the addition and subtraction operations.
Absolute value is the numerical value of a real number without regard to its sign.
For example, |2| = 2 and |-3| = 3.
Let's break down the given expression step by step:
|-14| + |-22| – |36| + |–36|
1. The absolute value of -14 is 14. So, |-14| becomes 14.
2. The absolute value of -22 is 22. Thus, |-22| becomes 22.
3. The absolute value of 36 is 36. Therefore, |36| remains as 36.
4. The absolute value of -36 is 36. Hence, |–36| becomes 36.
Now, replacing each absolute value with its corresponding value, we have:
14 + 22 – 36 + 36
Next, we proceed with the addition and subtraction operations from left to right:
14 + 22 = 36
36 - 36 = 0
So, the final evaluation of the expression is 0.
