Question 15279
This looks like an absolute value problem (although it does look strangely like the previous problem that I posted a solution for!).  This is the product of -4 times the result of taking the absolute value of 5-12.  First take the 5-12 which is -7.  Next take the absolute value of -7, which would be 7.  Last step, take -4 times 7, and you have a final answer -28.  


The moral here is to be REALLY careful in writing your math problems, because sometimes a minor difference or sloppiness in writing the problem can end up with a completely different result!!
