Answer:

-115

Explanation:

Since anything in between those two lines (absolute value) always comes out positive and the five inside there is already positive, we don't need to worry about it.

First let's look at what's inside the parenthesis.

5 - 4(32 - 2)

= 5 - 4(30)

Next, we'd multiply. (I'm going by PEMDAS)

5 - 120

Now that we've done that we just need to subtract. Generally, 120-5=115, so, we just need to make it negative.

Hope this helps!! <3 :)
