Here's a simplified version of your formula. First, ditch the supurfluous +
signs,
=IF((B3-B2)*24<0,-(B3-B2)*24,(B3-B2)*24)+IF((B5-B4)*24<0,-(B5-B4)*24,(B5-B4)*24)

Second, the Abs function simplifies this significantly:
=Abs(b3-b2)*24+Abs(b5-b4)*24

My guess as to the answer to your question is:

=abs(sum(b3:g3)-sum(b2:g2))*24+abs(sum(b5:g5)-sum(b5:g5))*24
