I need to find the answer to this question

Answer:
18
Step-by-step explanation:
We begin with the given [tex]h=-1[/tex] and have to solve [tex]|h|+17=?[/tex]
First, we can substitute in -1 for h
[tex]|-1|+17=?[/tex]
Now we can apply the absolute values to -1. These signs will make whatever is inside positive, even if it is negative. This will give us
[tex]1+17=?[/tex]
Which finally becomes
[tex]18=?[/tex]
This means that
[tex]|h|+17=18[/tex]
