@larryboxaplenty …please provide a process, then your answer. Keep in mind that providing answers repeatedly without a process first can result in consequences, thank you

Answer 3

(x-5) = (3-5) = -2

abs(-2) = 2 You always make numbers positive.

2+2 = 4

Answer 4

basically, what you would do is plug 3 into the x-variable of the equation. It would look like this:

f(3)=|3-5|+2

Answer 5

the absolute value of 3-5 is 2, because absolute value is always positive. add 2, and your solution is 4.
