Answer:
[tex] - 7.2[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to find the value of
[tex] - |5 \times 2 + 2| + |3 \times 3 - 4.2| [/tex]
We carry out the multiplication first to get:
[tex] - |10 + 2| + |9 - 4.2| [/tex]
We simplify within the absolute value bar.
[tex] - |12| + |4.8| [/tex]
Evaluate the absolute values
[tex] - 12 + 4.8[/tex]
[tex] = - 7.2[/tex]
