Let's solve the given problem step by step:

1. Perform the subtraction inside the absolute value function:

[tex]\[ 13 - 15 = -2 \][/tex]

2. Calculate the absolute value of the result:

The absolute value of a number is the distance of that number from 0 on the number line, without considering direction. Essentially, it turns negative values into positive ones and keeps positive values as they are. So:

[tex]\[ |-2| = 2 \][/tex]

Thus, the value of [tex]\( |13 - 15| \)[/tex] is [tex]\( 2 \)[/tex].

The correct answer is:
A. 2
