Answer by Theo(13342) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
the problem is:
|-7-12|-(-33)-81
the absolute value of (-7-12) is the absolute value of (-19) which is equal to 19.

a subtraction of (-33) is the same as an addition of (33), so you get 19 + 33 equals 52.

52 minus 81 results in -29.

the answer should be equal to -29.

i would have to see what your intermediate steps were in order to tell you how you got 67.

you should be able to track back from what i did to see where you went wrong.
