Pls fast 23 ! what is the value of the expression |a + b| + |c| when a = –5, b = 8, and c = –13?
a. 16 b. –10 c. 0 d. –26

Simply plug in the values of a, b, and c and evaluate
|-5 + 8| + |-13|
|3|+ 13
3 + 13

= 16

the answer is A

The question is kind of confusing. if it's asking how many variations of answers can you give. then do 4^5 for your answer.this would be something like the first question could be a and the 2nd c or first b next c etc. if you can, ask the teacher for a better confirmation of what it's asking. if i'm assuming correctly what it's asking, it's 625 different variations.
