Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
|x - 13|
Let x =5
|5 - 13|
|-8|
Absolute value means positive
|x-13| absolute value means that we do not care about whether it is to left of zero or the right of zero we just care about the number itself.
5-13= -8
but since we only care about its absolute value it is just 8
