Question

Solve the mathematical problem involving absolute value. |(1/2)(−8)|+|10−4| (1 point) Responses 10 10
a.2

b.10

c.−2

d.−10

Answer 1

To solve the problem, we need to evaluate the expression step by step.

The expression is:
\[
|(1/2)(−8)| + |10−4|
\]

1. First, calculate \((1/2)(−8)\):
\[
(1/2)(−8) = -4
\]
Now take the absolute value:
\[
|-4| = 4
\]

2. Next, evaluate \(10 - 4\):
\[
10 - 4 = 6
\]
Now take the absolute value:
\[
|6| = 6
\]

3. Now, add the two absolute values together:
\[
4 + 6 = 10
\]

So, the final result is:
\[
\boxed{10}
\]

The correct answer is b. 10.
