Answer: A. 14

Explanation:

This question it's just like order of operations. p-parenthesis, e-exponents, m-multiply, d-divide, a-add, and s-subtract. It can also go left to right.

5+3*2+|-3|

multiply the numbers

3*2=6

5+6+|-3|

-3=3

5+6+3

5+6=11

11+3=14

final answer: =14

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

Have a great day!

5-3(-2)+|-3|

Multiply -3 and -2
5+6+|-3|

Add 5 +6
11+|-3|

The absolute value of any number whether positive or negative, is always positive since it is the distance from zero.
11+3


Answer is 14
