Answer:

b

Explanation:

Do the stuff inside of the absolute value signs. Make them both positive (in this case it's only the second one). Then subtract the values and if it's negative (like in this case) do not make it positive.

x + 5 = 2 + 5 = 7

2w = (2)(-4) = -8 Make -8 positive

7 - 8 = -1

Hope this helps
