Answer 1

To solve the expression \( 21 \div 3 + 4 + |2 - 3| \), we can break it down step by step.

1. Calculate \( 21 \div 3 \): \[ 21 \div 3 = 7 \]

2. Now, calculate the absolute value \( |2 - 3| \): \[ 2 - 3 = -1 \quad \Rightarrow \quad |2 - 3| = 1 \]

3. Now we can substitute these values back into the expression: \[ 7 + 4 + 1 \]

4. Now add the results together: \[ 7 + 4 = 11 \] \[ 11 + 1 = 12 \]

Thus, the final result is \( 12 \).

The answer is 12.
