Question

Find the value of each of the following.

$\left|-4\right|+\left|-6\right|$

Answer 1

The absolute value of an integer is its numerical value regardless of the sign. The absolute value of a number is represented by $\left|number\right|$and is read as "modulus of number".

$$\begin{gathered} \left|-4\right|+\left|-6\right| \\ =4+6 \\ =10 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, $\left|-4\right|+\left|-6\right|=10$.
