To help you fill in the blanks with values for John's score (J) and Kamira's score (K), I'll need to provide some examples based on a hypothetical scenario since I cannot see the actual scores from your description.

Let's assume John's score (J) is 3 and Kamira's score (K) is -2.

  1. The sum of John's score and Kamira's score is: \( J + K = 3 + (-2) = 1 \) So, the value for "a" is 1.

  2. The difference between John's score and Kamira's score is: \( J - K = 3 - (-2) = 3 + 2 = 5 \) Therefore, the difference is 5.

  3. The absolute value of the difference between John's score and Kamira's score is: \( |J - K| = |3 - (-2)| = |5| = 5 \) Thus, the absolute value of the difference is 5.

  4. The sum of the absolute values of John's score and Kamira's score is: \( |J| + |K| = |3| + |-2| = 3 + 2 = 5 \) So, the sum of the absolute values is 5.

Now, combining it all:

  • The sum of John's score and Kamira's score is 1.
  • The difference between John's score and Kamira's score is 5.
  • The absolute value of the difference between John's score and Kamira's score is 5.
  • The sum of the absolute value of John's score and the absolute value of Kamira's score is 5.

If you provide specific values for John and Kamira's scores, I can replace these with the actual numbers!
