Solution
The correct option is B -4
−4:−|−13−(−17)|=
−|−13+17|=
−|4|=−4
Subtraction of negative = addition
Note that the absolute value cannot be made into 13+17. you must perform the arithmetic inside grouping symbols first, whether inside parentheses or inside absolute value bars. Then you can remove the grouping symbols.
