Answer 6

just plug in x=-3 in that expression

Answer 7

nopes, how ?

Answer 8

do you know the significance of |...|, the absolute value sign ?

Answer 9

not opposite,
it will make any negative sign as positive!! (positive remains positive)

examples,
|-20| = 20, |-3| = 3
|44| = 44

got this ?

note that the |....| is not for -3 !!

its for the value of
2(-3) +1

so first tell me whats 2 (-3) +1 = ... ?

right!
