Absolute value |2-7|=5
That because anything in the absolute value that is a negative answer it will always be positive. Like 2-7 which supposed to equal to -5 but when it come in a absolute value the answer will be positive 5.

The absolute value is:

5

Work/explanation:

First, we will evaluate 2-7.

It evaluates to -5.

Now, let's find the absolute value of -5 by using these rules:


\sf{\mid a\mid=a}


\sf{\mid-a \mid=a}

Similarly, the absolute value of -5 is:


\sf{\mid-5\mid=5}

Hence, 5 is the answer.
