Understanding Absolute Value and Order of Operations

What is the first step in simplifying an expression with absolute values?

• Add all numbers first

• Simplify the expression outside the absolute value

• Multiply all numbers first

• Simplify within the innermost parentheses or grouping symbols

When simplifying expressions with exponents, what should be done first?

• Simplify the exponents

• Multiply the exponents

• Add the exponents

• Divide the exponents

What is the result of 3 * 25 inside the absolute value?

• 125

• 50

• 75

• 100

What operation is performed after simplifying exponents inside absolute values?

• Multiplication

• Division

• Subtraction

• Addition

What is the result of 6 * 64 inside the absolute value?

• 512

• 256

• 128

• 384

How can subtraction be rewritten to simplify calculations?

• As division of a positive number

• As addition of a positive number

• As multiplication of a negative number

• As addition of a negative number

Why is the sum of 75 and -384 negative?

• Because both are positive

• Because both are negative

• Because -384 is larger

• Because 75 is larger

What is the absolute value of -309?

• -309

• 39

• 309

• 0

What is the absolute value of a number?

• The number itself

• The negative of the number

• The distance from zero

• The sum of the number and zero

What is the final step in finding the absolute value of a result?

• Finding the distance from zero

• Adding the result to zero

• Subtracting the result from zero

• Multiplying the result by zero
