The function $h(x) = |x - 15|$ evaluated at $x = 20$ gives $|20 - 15| = |5| = 5$. Absolute value makes the result non-negative.

Evaluate the Function at the Given Value of the Independent h(x)=∣x−15∣;h(20)h ( x ) = | x - 15 | ; \quad h ( 20 )h(x)=∣x−15∣;h(20)

Evaluate the Function at the Given Value of the Independent $h ( x ) = | x - 15 | ; \quad h ( 20 )$
