Answer 2

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

• a + b = -5

To find -a - b  

Factor out the common term -1:

⇒ -a - b = -(a + b)

Substitute a + b = -5:

⇒ -a - b = -(-5)

Apply rule -(-x) = x:

⇒ -a - b = 5

Therefore:

$\begin{aligned}\implies \sf \dfrac{|a+b|+5}{|-a-b|} & = \sf \dfrac{|-5|+5}{|5|}\\\\& = \sf \dfrac{5+5}{5}\\\\& = \sf \dfrac{10}{5}\\\\& = \sf 2\end{aligned}$

Note:  |-x| = x
