Solve the mathematical problem involving absolute value. |(12)(−8)|+|10−4| (1 point) Responses 10 10

a.2

b.10

c.−2

d.−10

1 answer

To solve the expression \(|(12)(−8)| + |10−4|\), we will calculate each part step by step.

  1. Calculate \((12)(−8)\): \[ (12)(−8) = -96 \] Now, find the absolute value: \[ |(12)(−8)| = |-96| = 96 \]

  2. Calculate \(10 - 4\): \[ 10 - 4 = 6 \] Now, find the absolute value: \[ |10−4| = |6| = 6 \]

  3. Now we add the two absolute values together: \[ |(12)(−8)| + |10−4| = 96 + 6 = 102 \]

Now, since none of the options a, b, c, or d (which seem to suggest smaller single digits like 10, 2, -2, or -10) match, it appears that the options might have an error or you may have misunderstood the expression.

Given the calculations above, the answer is 102. However, according to your listed responses, none applies. Please verify the expression or the options given.
