Write the expression without using absolute value symbols. $| x + 4 | - | x - 14 | \quad$ for $\quad x < - 8$
$| x + 4 | - | x - 14 | =ـــــــــــ$ for $x < - 8$
A) 10
B) $- 18$
C) $\quad 2 x - 18$
D) $\quad 18 - 2 x$
E) 18

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

For $x < - 8$ we have: 
$| x + 4 | - | x - 14 | = -(x+4) - (-(x-14)) = - x - 4 + x - 14 =-18$ 
So the answer is (B) $-18$
