Answer:

Option A: 11,1 is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The absolute value is used in the given expressions.

The absolute value represents the values of a number or variable irrespective of its sign. This means that |x| = x and |-x| = 0

Given expression is:

[tex]|2x-5|[/tex]

Putting x=3

[tex]|2(-3)-5| \\= |-6-5|\\= |-11|\\=11[/tex]

Putting x=-3

[tex]|2(3)-5| \\= |6-5|\\= |1|\\=1[/tex]

Hence,

Option A: 11,1 is the correct answer.
