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

Question

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.
