The result is $14$ $14$ .

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

$= 5 - 3 \cdot (- 2) + | - 3 |$ $color(white)=5-3*(-2)+|-3|$

$= 5 - 3 \cdot (- 2) + 3$ $=5-3*(-2)+3$

$= 5 - (- 6) + 3$ $=5-(-6)+3$

$= 5 + 6 + 3$ $=5+6+3$

$= 11 + 3$ $=11+3$

$= 14$ $=14$

$14$ $14$

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

$- 3 \cdot (- 2) = 6$ $-3 * (-2) = 6$

$5 + 6 + | - 3 | =$ $5 + 6 + |-3| =$

$11 + | - 3 | =$ $11 + |-3| =$

$14$ $14$

Hope this helps:)
