Evaluate lal - Ibl, given a = 5, b = - 3, and c = - 2.

a. 2 b. 3 c. 7 d. 8

A. 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Absolute Valie: how many units a number is from zero. (ex: |5|=5, |-7|=7, |-126|=126)

|a| = the absolute value of a (a=5) so the absolute value of a is 5

|b| = the absolute value of b (b=-3) so the absolute value of b is 3.

|a| - |b| = answer : the absolute value of a subtracting/minus the absolute value of b is the answer. So ...

|a| = 5

|b| = 3

(|a|=5) - (|b|=3) = (5) - (3) = 2
