The result is #14#.

First, compute the absolute value. Then, do the parentheses. Lastly, do the addition:

#color(white)=5-3*(-2)+|-3|#

#=5-3*(-2)+3#

#=5-(-6)+3#

#=5+6+3#

#=11+3#

#=14#

#14#

It's a lot easier if you follow order of operations:

#-3 * (-2) = 6#

#5 + 6 + |-3| = #

#11 + |-3| =#

#14#

Hope this helps:)
