- 7

Let's substitute a=4, b=- 3, and c=10 in the expression and then simplify. Remember to carefully follow the order of operations. In this case, before we can evaluate the addition and subtraction, we should simplify the products and the absolute value.
4a+b-|2c|
4( 4)+( - 3)-| 2( 10)|
16+(- 3)-|20|
16+(- 3)-20
16-3-20
