Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
y = x + 4
Discussion:
As x >5,
x-3 > 5 -3 > 0
x + 2 > 5 + 2 > 0
x -5 > 5 - 5 >=0
So for the given x values each term is positive and abs(a) = a. That is
y = (x-3) + (x+2) - (x -5) => note abs(a) replaced by "a"
y = (x + x - x) + ( -3 +2 + 5) => -3 + 2 + 5 = 4
y = x + 4
Thank you,
MrB
