Answer:

13 (Answer A)

Step-by-step explanation:

" |−19 + 6| " reads "the absolute value of -19 and 6 combined".

Order of operations rules come into play here.  First and foremost:  We must perform any work enclosed in parentheses FIRST.  In thise case there aer no parentheses, but the same rule applies:  Perform any work enclosed within the absolute value operator   |      |  FIRST.  Combine -19 and 6 FIRST:

-19 + 6 = -13

Now we take the absolute value (magnitude) of this result:

|-13| = 13 (Answer A)
