2−|13⋅−9|−5

3 answers

To solve this expression, we can follow the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS), which states that we must first simplify the operations inside the absolute value, then perform any multiplication or division, and finally carry out addition or subtraction.

|-13 * -9| = |117| = 117

Substituting this result back into the original expression:

2 - 117 - 5

Now, performing the subtraction:

-120
2−|1/3⋅−9|−5(1 point)
To solve this expression, we start by simplifying the operations inside the absolute value:

|1/3 * -9| = |-3| = 3

Now, we can substitute this result back into the original expression:

2 - 3 - 5

Next, we perform the subtraction:

-1 - 5 = -6

Therefore, the final result is -6.
