Answer:
D. 3-5
Step-by-step explanation:
Absolute Value
[tex] |a| = a \\ | - a| = a[/tex]
Given where a-term is greater or equal to 0.
Example
[tex] |1| = 1 \\ | - 1| = 1 \\ | - 20| = 20[/tex]
Back to the question, we evaluate the absolute value of 3-5.
[tex] |3 - 5| \\ | - 2| [/tex]
Any negative real numbers in absolute will become positive real numbers.
Therefore, our answer is —
[tex]2[/tex]
Consider all choices.
[tex] |5 - 3| = |2| = 2 \\ |3 - 5| = | - 2| = 2 \\ 5 - 3 = 2 \\ 3 - 5 = - 2[/tex]
The only answer that is different is the last choice, 3-5 = -2
