Question

Calculate: 8⋅|−9|−|−7|+|2| (1 point) Responses −63 negative 63 −77 negative 77 81 81 67

Answer 1

To calculate the expression \( 8 \cdot | -9 | - | -7 | + | 2 | \):

1. Calculate the absolute values:
- \( | -9 | = 9 \)
- \( | -7 | = 7 \)
- \( | 2 | = 2 \)

2. Substitute these values back into the expression:
\[
8 \cdot 9 - 7 + 2
\]

3. Perform the multiplication:
\[
8 \cdot 9 = 72
\]

4. Substitute back into the expression:
\[
72 - 7 + 2
\]

5. Perform the subtraction and addition:
\[
72 - 7 = 65
\]
\[
65 + 2 = 67
\]

Therefore, the final answer is \( \boxed{67} \).
