#### Answer:

Calculate inside the absolute value first. Final answer: 169

#### Explanation:

$82 + \left\mid - 15 - 75 \right\mid - \left\mid 3 \right\mid$
Calculate inside the absolute value first.
$82 + \left\mid - 90 \right\mid - \left\mid 3 \right\mid$
If a number is negative inside the absolute value, it becomes positive when you remove the absolute value signs.

$82 + 90 - 3 = 169$
