a) \(\left(-396\right)+2016+189+\left(-604\right)-109\)
\(=-396+2016+189-604-109\)
\(=-\left(396-2016\right)+189-604-109\)
\(=-\left(-1620\right)+189-604-109\)
\(=1620+189-604-109\)
\(=1809-604-109\)
\(=1205-109\)
\(=1096\)
b) \(10-\left|x+3\right|=-8-10\)
\(\Leftrightarrow10-\left|x+3\right|=-\left(8+10\right)\)
\(\Leftrightarrow10-\left|x+3\right|=-18\)
\(\Leftrightarrow\left|x+3\right|=10-\left(-18\right)\)
\(\Leftrightarrow\left|x+3\right|=10+18\)
\(\Leftrightarrow\left|x+3\right|=28\)
Xét trường hợp 1: \(x+3=28\)
\(\Rightarrow x=28-3\)
\(\Rightarrow x=25\)
Xét trường hợp 2: \(x+3=-28\)
\(\Rightarrow x=-28-3\)
\(\Rightarrow x=-\left(28+3\right)\)
\(\Rightarrow x=-31\)
Vậy \(x=25\) hoặc \(x=-31\)
