Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
Note that the absolute value always returns a positive value, that is
| - a | = | a | = a, thus
| 34 - 49 | = | - 15 | = 15 and
| 17 - 24 | = | - 7 | = 7
The sum simplifies to
[tex]\frac{15}{6}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{7}{3}[/tex]
Before adding the fractions must have a common denominator, thus
[tex]\frac{15}{6}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{7(2)}{3(2)}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{15}{6}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{14}{6}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{29}{6}[/tex] → B
