See a solution process below:

Explanation:

First, execute the Exponent operation:

#10 + 4abs(6 - 9) - color(red)(3^2) => 10 + 4abs(6 - 9) - 9#

Next, execute the Subtraction operation within the absolution value function:

#10 + 4abs(color(red)(6 - 9)) - 9 => 10 + 4abs(-3) - 9#

Then, execute the Absolution Value function:

#10 + 4color(red)(abs(-3)) - 9 => 10 + 4 * 3 - 9 #

Then, execute the Multiplication operation:

#10 + color(red)(4 * 3) - 9 => 10 + 12 - 9#

Now, execute the Addition and Subtraction operations left to right:

#color(red)(10 + 12) - 9 => 22 - 9 => 13#
