It's +5, because you get rid of the parenthesis first, then you start from left to right which is:
|2-5+2-4| , then do subratction first and the second group subtract then you add.
|-3+-2| Since its the answer gonna be |-5| BUT wait! its the absolute value so its: positive 5 !
because the absolute value always become a positive never a negative.

You are going to remove the brackets so the eqn. is
2+ -5+2-4 You know that
+ +=+
-+= -
- -= +
So therefore it is 2-5+2-4
So the ans. is -5
