what is -83+|-13|?

Answer 1

-70. The || stands for absolute value, which is the distance of the number from 0 expressed as a positive. So the absolute value of -13 and 13 is the same: 13. Which means you're adding 13 to -83, which comes out -70.

Answer 2

First you find the absolute value of -13 which is 13. Then you add -83 + 13, which equals, -70. So -70 is the answer.

Answer 3

When you have ||, the number within the brackets becomes positive. So, then you do just standard addition to the equation.
-83+|-13| = -83 +13 = -70

Answer 4

-83 + |-13| = -83 + 13 = -70

Answer 5

-70 ... absolute of -13 is 13 so your doing -83+13 which is -70

Answer 6

A number put between two straight lines, is a number put in module, and it means that no matter whether it has a plus or a minus sign in front of it, you will consider the positive value....for instance:
|-1| = 1 and |1| = 1
|-2| = 2 and |2| = 2
and so on....

So, in your case, |-13| = 13.....and your operation will be
-83 + 13 =....

Do you think you could continue from here?......Good luck with the rest of your homework.

Answer 7

-70
The |-13| is the "absolute value" of -13, which is 13. So -83+13, which is -70.

Answer 8

-70. As explained above, the || symbols denote absolute value, which means that whatever the value inside has to be positive.

-83 + 13 = 70
