-4%2Aabs%28-1-5%29-7%2Aabs%285-8%29 Start with the given expression


-4%2Aabs%28-6%29-7%2Aabs%28-3%29 Subtract 5 from -1 to get -6. Subtract 8 from 5 to get -3

-4%2A6-7%2A3 Take the absolute value of -6 to get 6. Take the absolute value of -3 to get 3.



-24-21 Multiply


-45 Subtract


So -4%2Aabs%28-1-5%29-7%2Aabs%285-8%29=-45
