The expression shown in the image is:

$\frac{|6 - 9|}{3} + 6$

To simplify this expression, we follow the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS):

1. Parentheses: First, simplify the expression inside the absolute value.
   • $6 - 9 = -3$
   • $| -3 | = 3$ (Absolute value makes it positive).

So, the expression becomes:

$\frac{3}{3} + 6$

The first step of simplification is: $|6 - 9| = 3$.
