Answer:
-18
Explanation:
-10 + |-4| - |-12| Since there are the | |, then any negative number inside would become a positive as it will become its absolute value, which for -4, would be 4, because it is 4 spots away from the 0 on a number line and vice versa.
-10 + 4 - 12 Answering from left to right,
-10 + 4, if you would rather make it so they are both equal, you change the + to the opposite which would be - and change the 4 back to a negative because that is what it would be if you changed the equation to be subtraction instead to be easier as they would both be negatives now, so you would subtract -10 - -4 and get -6.
-6 - 12. Again, switch the - to the opposite, which is +, and then make 12 the opposite that it was before so they both share the same symbol, making it
-6 + -12, which would be -18.
