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:)
