To solve the expression \( 7 - (2 + |5 - 3|) \), we follow these steps:

  1. First, evaluate the absolute value: \[ |5 - 3| = |2| = 2. \]

  2. Substitute this value back into the expression: \[ 7 - (2 + 2). \]

  3. Next, simplify the expression inside the parentheses: \[ 2 + 2 = 4. \]

  4. Now we have: \[ 7 - 4. \]

  5. Finally, perform the subtraction: \[ 7 - 4 = 3. \]

So, the answer is: \[ \boxed{3}. \]
