DETAILED EXPLANATION

Look at 3%2Aabs%28-highlight_red%28+y+%29%29%2Babs%28-y%29.
Replaced y with 6
It becomes 3%2Aabs%28-highlight_green%28+6+%29%29%2Babs%28-y%29.
Look at 3%2Aabs%28-6%29%2Babs%28-highlight_red%28+y+%29%29.
Replaced y with 6
It becomes 3%2Aabs%28-6%29%2Babs%28-highlight_green%28+6+%29%29.
Look at highlight_red%28+3%2Aabs%28-6%29+%29%2Bhighlight_red%28+abs%28-6%29+%29.
Replace constants in expression: highlight_red%28+3%2Aabs%28-6%29+%29,highlight_red%28+abs%28-6%29+%29 with highlight_green%28+24+%29
It becomes highlight_green%28+24+%29.
Result: 24
