Yes. Okay. Can You please help me?
Both are wrong.
4. -3
5. B
To solve the first expression, |-4 -3| - |6 -2|, you need to evaluate the absolute values separately and then subtract them from each other.
First, let's evaluate |-4 -3|:
The absolute value of -4 - 3 is the absolute value of -7, which is 7.
Next, let's evaluate |6 - 2|:
The absolute value of 6 - 2 is the absolute value of 4, which is 4.
Finally, subtract the second absolute value from the first:
7 - 4 = 3.
So, the value of the given expression is 3.
For the second question, the variable expression 3d + 5 is representing Beth's age.
The phrase "five times Beth’s age plus three" matches the expression 3d + 5, where d represents Beth's age. So, the correct option is "five times Beth’s age plus three."
