Cevap

6
The expression is evaluated by first simplifying the terms inside the absolute value to get |-3|, which equals positive 3. Multiplying this by the coefficient 2 gives 6. Finally, subtracting 6 from 12 yields the correct answer of 6.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Simplify the expression inside the absolute value bars.
−4+1=−3-4 + 1 = -3
According to the order of operations, operations inside absolute value bars (which act as grouping symbols) must be performed first.
2
Evaluate the absolute value of the result.
∣−3∣=3|-3| = 3
The absolute value of a number represents its distance from zero, which is always positive.
3
Multiply the result by the coefficient outside the absolute value.
2×3=62 \times 3 = 6
Multiplication must be performed before subtraction according to the order of operations (PEMDAS).
4
Subtract the product from the initial value.
12−6=612 - 6 = 6
This completes the evaluation of the expression to find the final numerical value.
