ALGEBRA 2 HELP! Will fan and medal! http://prntscr.com/8pb5vg

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it clear that you are supposed to put \(-3\) where you see the \(x\)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i.e compute \[f(-3)=|2\times (-3)-1|-5\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so which is the answer? @u@ i'm still confused

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@satellite73

OpenStudy (anonymous):

did you compute the number? that is what you need to do

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is \(2\times (-3)\)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so we have \[|2\times (-3)-1|-5=|-6-1|-5\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is \(-6-1\)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-7?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes now we are at \[|-7|-5\] so what is \(|-7|\)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

7.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So is that the answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Cos it can't be. The choices are 2, -12, 0, and -10.
