Problem

Simplify: \$| - 19 | + | 61 | + | - 32 | \$.

2

Step

Let’s start by evaluating the absolute values:

\$| - 19 | + | 61 | + | - 32 | \$

3

Step

The absolute value of any negative number is its positive counterpart.

\$|-19|\$ = 19

4

Step

61 is already positive so, the absolute value is

\$|61|\$ = 61

5

Step

The absolute value of any negative number is its positive counterpart.

\$|-32|\$ = 32

6

Step

Now, we substitute these values back into the expression:

\$| - 19 | + | 61 | + | - 32 | \$

19 + 61 + 32

7

Step

Adding these numbers together:

19 + 61 + 32 = 112

8

Solution

So, the simplified expression is 112.

10

Choice-A

This option is correct. After computing the absolute values and summing them, we get a total of 112

Correct 112

11

Choice-B

This option is incorrect because it represents a negative value. However, the sum of absolute values cannot be negative, so -131 is not possible

Wrong -131

12

Choice-C

This option is incorrect. The sum of the absolute values of -19, 61, and -32 is greater than 10

Wrong 10

13

Choice-D

This option is incorrect because it represents a negative value. However, the sum of absolute values cannot be negative, so -71 is not possible

Wrong -71
