Math Problem Statement

| -39 - 14 |

Solution

The expression shown in the image is:

3914| -39 - 14 |

Let's break this down:

  1. First, perform the subtraction inside the absolute value bars: 3914=53-39 - 14 = -53

  2. Now, apply the absolute value, which turns any negative number into a positive number: 53=53| -53 | = 53

So, the result of 3914| -39 - 14 | is 53.
