$- \frac{| - 15 |}{3} \times \frac{| - 2 \times 12 |}{8} = - 15$ $-abs(-15)/3xxabs(-2xx12)/8=-15$

The absolute value function will always return a positive number.

$- \frac{| - 15 |}{3} \times \frac{| - 2 \times 12 |}{8}$ $-abs(-15)/3xxabs(-2xx12)/8$

$- \frac{15}{3} \times \frac{| - 24 |}{8}$ $-15/3xxabs(-24)/8$

$- \frac{15}{3} \times \frac{24}{8}$ $-15/3xx24/8$

$- 5 \times 3 = - 15$ $-5xx3=-15$

How do you evaluate −|−15|3×|−2×12|8-abs(-15)/3timesabs(-2times12)/8?
