Answer 1

Explanation:

When you are adding the absolute values of numbers the sign doesn't matter. So in this case the absolute value of 8 is 8. It is 8 units away from 0. The absolute value of -7 is 7, meaning it is 7 units away from 0. With this in mind you can add both of these numbers together as if they were positive. So 7+8
