To solve the problem \(|(12)(-8)| + |10 - 4|\), we can break it down into two parts:
-
Calculate \((12)(-8)\): \[ 12 \times -8 = -96 \]
-
Find the absolute value of \(-96\): \[ | -96 | = 96 \]
-
Now, calculate \(10 - 4\): \[ 10 - 4 = 6 \]
-
Find the absolute value of \(6\): \[ |6| = 6 \]
-
Now combine the results: \[ |(12)(-8)| + |10 - 4| = 96 + 6 = 102 \]
The final answer is \(102\).
Since this does not match any of the provided options, we verify our calculations:
- The steps followed are correct:
- \((12)(-8) = -96\) → \( |-96| = 96\)
- \(10 - 4 = 6\) → \( |6| = 6\)
- \(96 + 6 = 102\)
Since the computed value does not align with the responses given (−2, 10, 2, −10), it's possible none of the provided options are correct based on the calculations displayed.
