Question

Evaluate the expression when $x=-13$: $\left|x\right|+29.6$

Short answer

The solution of the expression is $42.6$.

Step-by-step solution

Step 1.  Apply the concept of Modulus

In this type of question, use the concept of modulus in which $\left|-x\right|=x$ will give the answer.

Step 2.  Finding the equation of the situation

Since, the expression is $\left|x\right|+29.6$.

Now, simply put $x=-13$in the above expression, by the concept of modulus

$\begin{array}{l}=\left|x\right|+29.6\\ =\left|-13\right|+29.6\\ =13+29.6\\ =42.6\end{array}$
