Math Problem Statement

(6*(-3+|8-13|))/2+4

Solution

Let's break this down step by step:

  1. Inside the absolute value:
    813=58 - 13 = -5 5=5| -5 | = 5

  2. Inside the parentheses:
    3+5=2-3 + 5 = 2

  3. Multiply by 6:
    6×2=126 \times 2 = 12

  4. Divide by 2:
    122=6\frac{12}{2} = 6

  5. Add 4:
    6+4=106 + 4 = 10

Final Answer:

10\mathbf{10}
