No, the correct answer is not A.
To find the expression equivalent to |-3 + 5|, we need to evaluate the absolute value first.
The absolute value of a number represents its distance from zero on a number line. If the number is positive or zero, the absolute value is the number itself. If the number is negative, the absolute value is the number with the negative sign removed.
In this case, |-3 + 5| means the absolute value of the expression -3 + 5.
Evaluating this expression, we get |-3 + 5| = |2|.
The absolute value of 2 is 2.
So, the correct answer is not A, but it is actually D) 3 + 5, since the absolute value of 2 is equivalent to 3 + 5.
