Is This Statement True Or False |-8|+ |3| =|8+3|?

Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    Any number inside a || is as a fact a positive number
    So that
    |x| and |-x| are the same and both have an answer of x
    We are given
    |-8| + |3|
    which is equal to
    |8+3|
    lets solve both of these separately
    |-8| + |3|
    8 + 3
    adding
    11
    |8+3|
    adding
    |11|
    which is
    11
    so YES this statement is correct!
