Evaluate |8|+|-3|-7*-5

$| 8 | + | - 3 | - 7 \cdot - 5$

Step 1

Simplify each term.

The absolute value is the distance between a number and zero. The distance between $0$ and $8$ is $8$ .

$8 + | - 3 | - 7 \cdot - 5$

The absolute value is the distance between a number and zero. The distance between $- 3$ and $0$ is $3$ .

$8 + 3 - 7 \cdot - 5$

Multiply $- 7$ by $- 5$ .

$8 + 3 + 35$

Step 2

Simplify by adding numbers.

Add $8$ and $3$ .

$11 + 35$

Add $11$ and $35$ .

$46$
