Question 344112
<font face="Garamond" size="+2">


Can't do it.  You gave values for A and D, but your expression uses variables a and d.  If A really does equal a and D really does equal d, then just substitute your values in place of the variables in the expression, then do the arithmetic.


Remember the definition of Absolute Value
