What is 2|u| - |v|, if u = - 9 and v = - 2?

A. - 18

B. 16

C. - 20

D. 20

I believe the answer would be B

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that the absolute value always returns a positive value, that is

| - 2 | = | 2 | = 2

given

2| u | - | v | with u = - 9 and v = - 2, then

2 | - 9 | - | - 2 |

= 2 * 9 - 2 = 18 - 2 = 16 → B
