Problem

Simplify : \$| 17 times 5 | \div | 4 - 19 | \$.

2

Step

Given the expression

\$| 17 times 5 | \div | 4 - 19 | \$

3

Hint

First calculate the values inside the absolute values:

4

Step

The absolute value of any positive number is the number itself.

\$|17 * 5|\$ = \$|85|\$ = 85

5

Step

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

\$|4-19|\$ = \$|-15|\$ = 15

6

Step

Now, we substitute these values back into the original expression:

\$85/15\$

⇒ \$ 17/3\$

7

Solution

The simplified expression is \$ 17/3\$.
