B | 3 - 5 |
C 5 - 3
D 3 -5

PLEASEE HELP THANK YOU!!!

Answer 1

D. 3-5

Explanation:

Absolute Value

`|a| = a \\ | - a| = a`

Given where a-term is greater or equal to 0.

Example

`|1| = 1 \\ | - 1| = 1 \\ | - 20| = 20`

Back to the question, we evaluate the absolute value of 3-5.

`|3 - 5| \\ | - 2|`

Any negative real numbers in absolute will become positive real numbers.

Therefore, our answer is —

`2`

Consider all choices.

`|5 - 3| = |2| = 2 \\ |3 - 5| = | - 2| = 2 \\ 5 - 3 = 2 \\ 3 - 5 = - 2`

The only answer that is different is the last choice, 3-5 = -2
