|x| + |y| evaluate the expression if x = 16 and y = 13.

|x| + |y| = 29

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given the expression;

|x| + |y|

We are required to evaluate the above expression if;

x = 16 and y = 13

The parallel vertical lines imply that we are dealing with the absolute value of x and y;

|x| + |y| = |16| + |13|

           = 16 + 13

           = 29

The correct answer is 29

Step-by-step explanation:

Points to remember

|x| = x

|-x| = x

It is given an expression, |x| + |y|

To find the value of given expression

|x| + |y|  if x = 16 and y = 13

Substitute the value of x and y in the above expression,

|x| + |y| = |16| + |13|

 = 16 + 13 = 29

Therefore the correct answer is 29
