Rules: (-) plus (-) equals positive.
Anything negative in absolute value will turn positive. Example, | -2 | —> 2
|-4b-8|+|-1 -b^2| +2b^3; b=-2
First step is substituting all the “b” to -2.
|-4(-2) -8| + |-1 -(-2)^2| +2(-2)^3
Then start solving.
|8-8| + |-1 -(4)| +2(-8)
|0| + |-5| -16
0 +5 -16= -11
Answer: -11
