evaluate : | 5 - 8 ( 3 - 12 ) | - | 5 - 11 | = ?
"according to order of operations , inner brackets first . hence | 5 - 8 ( 3 - 12 ) | - | 5 - 11 | = | 5 - 8 * ( - 9 ) | - | 5 - 11 | according to order of operations , multiplication within absolute value signs ( which may be considered as brackets when it comes to order of operations ) next . hence = | 5 + 72 | - | 5 - 11 | = | 77 | - | - 6 | = 77 - 6 = 71 correct answer d ) 71"
subtract(subtract(5, multiply(8, subtract(3, 12))), negate(subtract(5, 11)))
