Question 1105393: Please help!! A math teacher writes the following expression on the blackboard and asks the students to evaluate it.
1111-11-11 (pretend they all love like straight lines and there are no differences between absolute value sign and ones and they could be either)
The problem is that the math teacher is a bit sloppy and careless and does not distinguish between the symbols for "the number one" and "absolute value". Calculate and list every possible numerical value of the expression (Please help me find at between 25-30).
For full credit follow these guidelines:
1.) show each calculation clearly distinguishing between the different symbols. In an expression containing more than one set of absolute value bars, you will need to be particularly careful.
2.) sort your list of calculations from largest value to smallest value and number them starting with "(1)" (the largest value).
3.) If a value can be formed multiple ways list each separately.
4.) Consider only "well-formed" mathematical expressions
