Algebra Adage - Hints!

A few hints for the Algebra Adage Homework!!
    Remember if its a fraction it should stay in fraction from until you have simplified the numerator and denominator to single values that can then be divide.

F:   1 - (-2) +3|4 - (5+6) +7|  --> Treat absolute value signs as parentheses -- complete operations inside the inner most parentheses first!!  
    1 - (-2) + 3|4 - 11 +7|
    1 - (-2) + 3|-7+7|
    1 - (-2) + 3|0|
     1 + 2 + 0
        3 + 0
           0

M: |-1| - (-2)-3(-4)-(-5)(-6)-(-7)  --> Identify what has to be multiplied and what is being added
    |-1| - (-2)-3(-4)-(-5)(-6)-(-7)  --> The blue values are being multiplied!!  You can also think of what is green as -1 times the number.
     1+2 +12 - 30 +7  --> Be sure to add from left to right start with the first two terms and them go from there.  Don't combine terms in the middle.

Hope these hints help!!  Enjoy your weekend!
