I asked this 3 times already and it shouldn't be hard for me but it is so please help :)

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute the values of a and b

Step-by-step explanation:

| 2 - 4a | - 2(b - 7)

let a = 3, b = -5

substitute a = 3, b = -5 into the equation:

| 2 - 4a | - 2(b - 7)

= | 2 - 4(3) | - 2(-5 - 7)

= | 2 - 12 | - 2(-12)

= | -10 | + 24

= 10 + 24

= 34

what is the starting amount? the question is not clear sorry.
