$[\begin{array}{c} 2 & - 5 | 10 | \\ 4 & - 5 | 15 | \end{array}]$

Step 1

The absolute value is the distance between a number and zero. The distance between $0$ and $10$ is $10$ .

$[\begin{array}{c} 2 & - 5 \cdot 10 \\ 4 & - 5 | 15 | \end{array}]$

Step 2

Multiply $- 5$ by $10$ .

$[\begin{array}{c} 2 & - 50 \\ 4 & - 5 | 15 | \end{array}]$

Step 3

The absolute value is the distance between a number and zero. The distance between $0$ and $15$ is $15$ .

$[\begin{array}{c} 2 & - 50 \\ 4 & - 5 \cdot 15 \end{array}]$

Step 4

Multiply $- 5$ by $15$ .

$[\begin{array}{c} 2 & - 50 \\ 4 & - 75 \end{array}]$
