Question

1. solve the absolute value problems below: |-3|+|8| circle answer: a. -11 b. 5 c. 11 d. -5 e. 8
2. evaluate each expression 17 - 2^5÷4 + 6 circle answer: a. 15 b. 10 c. 5 d. 1 e. -5
3. evaluate the expression using the variable replacements. 3x^2 - 4x if x = - 2 circle answer:

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate absolute - values

$|-3| = 3$ and $|8| = 8$

Step2: Add the results

$3 + 8=11$

Step1: Calculate the exponent

$2^5=32$

Step2: Perform division

$32\div4 = 8$

Step3: Perform subtraction and addition from left - to - right

$17-8 + 6=9 + 6=15$

Step1: Substitute $x=-2$ into the expression

$3(-2)^2-4(-2)$

Step2: Calculate the exponent

$(-2)^2 = 4$, so the expression becomes $3\times4-4(-2)$

Step3: Perform multiplications

$3\times4 = 12$ and $-4(-2)=8$

Step4: Perform subtraction

$12 + 8=20$ (There are no options provided for this part in the original list, but the correct result of the evaluation is 20)
