2-5
So, the (-) will be a (+) 'coz it is positive+negative.
2+(-5)
So, it is negative+positive. When it is negative+positive, we subtract.
Answer is -3 but we are looking for the absolute value of this.
So, -3 to 0 is 3. It is a distance of 3.
So, the answer is 3.
Answer= 3

2-5=-3, but because you are looking for the absolute value the answer is just 3

do 2 minus 5 which is negative 3. The bars around it are absolute values which means you take the answer of anything inside and make it positive.

so simple +3 an -3
|2-5= -3| after mode there comes 2 signs plus and minus. so +(-3) = -3 and -(-3)= +3 so it makes two answers i hope so i`m right.
