Evaluate - |– 618|

Question

the brackets indicate an absolute, so the answer is 618, but the negative before the brackets makes it negative correct? The answer is -618 I think, am I correct? thanks

Answer 1

Yes, that is correct.
The first negative sign applies AFTER the evaluation of the absolute value function. So the sequence is
-|-618|
= - (+618)
= -618
as you correctly calculated.
