To evaluate the statement, the first step is to plug in the values of the variables into every spot where the variable is in the problem.
|4(-2) + 5|
After that, we simplify.
|-8 + 5| = |-3|
Because the -3 is in absolute value symbols, we need to take the absolute value of -3.
|-3| = 3
Therefore, the answer to the problem is 3.
