Find the value of the following. 1) -8 + |-6|
2) 16 + -7
3) -5 + |-11| + -13
4) Matt is playing a game. He gains 7 points, loses 10 points, gains 2 points, and then loses 8 points. What is his final score?

Answer correctly please.

The answer is 2
hope this helps

1) -2; |-6| asks for the absolute value which is 6 so you would solve as -8+6
2) 9; the addition sign isn’t needed so you would treat the equation as 16-7
3) -7; the second step for the equation is -5+11-13 then you simplify from there
4) 7-10+2-8= -9 but if there’s a starting number you would add it to the beginning of the equation continuing the equation with +7-10+2-8 and then solve with PEMDAS

These graph is cross the yaxis and x axis two ways.
