Answer:

Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following question:

[tex]|9-5|-|4-5|[/tex]

To find the answer we have to remember that when finding the absolute value, we convert any negative that is within the lines into a positive if it isn't already a positive.

[tex]|9-5|-|4-5|[/tex]
[tex]|9-5|=9+5[/tex]
[tex]|4-5|=4+5[/tex]
[tex]9+5-4+5[/tex]
[tex]9+5=14[/tex]
[tex]14-4+5[/tex]
[tex]4+5=9[/tex]
[tex]14-9=5[/tex]
[tex]=5[/tex]

Which means your answer is option B or "5".

Hope this helps!
