Answer:

The correct answer is A. 3,120.

Explanation:

Let's solve the expression for x = -5 and y = 25, this way:

(5|x| - y³)/x

Replacing x and y, we have:

(5 * 5 - 25³)/-5 (Absolute value of -5 is 5 in the numerator but we keep it without changes in the denominator)

(25 - 15,625)/-5

-15,600/-5

3,120

The correct answer is A. 3,120.
