Answer 1

Given the values \( j = -5 \) and \( k = 7 \):

1. The sum of John's score and Kamira's score is:
\[
j + k = -5 + 7 = 2
\]

2. The difference between John's score and Kamira's score is:
\[
j - k = -5 - 7 = -12
\]

3. The absolute value of the difference between John's score and Kamira's score is:
\[
|j - k| = |-12| = 12
\]

4. The sum of the absolute value of John's score and the absolute value of Kamira's score is:
\[
|j| + |k| = |-5| + |7| = 5 + 7 = 12
\]

To summarize:
- The sum of John's score and Kamira's score is **2**.
- The difference between John's score and Kamira's score is **-12**.
- The absolute value of the difference between John's score and Kamira's score is **12**.
- The sum of the absolute value of John's score and the absolute value of Kamira's score is **12**.
