This one&rsquo;s easy to mess up if you rush through the absolute values. Break it down.
&bull; |&minus;20| is 20 &bull; |5| is 5 &bull; So inside the parentheses: (20 &minus; 5) = 15 &bull; Then |&minus;4| = 4 &bull; Now it's 4 &times; 15 = 60
Some might accidentally keep the &minus;4 or forget that absolute value makes everything positive. Final answer is 60 &mdash; option C.
