    It would be 6. If you substitute 1 and - 3 into their assigned letters, you would get 6 as your final answer. the two lines mean it is an absolute value, which means any negative number would turn into a positive number

    |a-2| = 1

    |2-b| = 5

    Step-by-step explanation:

    2 minus negative 3 would equal 5 because positive minus negative equals positive and you are using absolute value. 1 minus 2 would equal - 1 but the absolute value is 1 so the answer is 1.
