Question

How do you simplify `−500 ÷ |−4 + 9|`?

Answer 1

See the entire solution process below:

Explanation:

The absolute value function is treated as a Parenthesis so is evaluated first:

`-500 -: color(red)(abs(-4 + 9)) ->`

`-500 -: color(red)(abs(5)) ->`

`-500 -: 5`

Now, rewrite this expression as:

`-500/5 = -100`
