Respuesta :
f(x) = |2x-1|-5
f(x) = |2*(x)-1|-5
f(-3) = |2*(-3)-1|-5 ... replace every x with -3
f(-3) = |-6-1|-5
f(-3) = |-7|-5
f(-3) = 7-5
f(-3) = 2 which is the final answer
Side Note: the vertical bars mean "absolute value" which represents distance. Negative distance makes no sense which is why absolute value results are never negative.

The value of a function is gotten from the input variable
The value of f(-3) is 2.
We have:
[tex]f(x) = |2x - 1| -5[/tex]
Substitute -3 for x
[tex]f(-3) = |2 \times -3 - 1| -5[/tex]
Multiply 2 and -3
[tex]f(-3) = |-6 - 1| -5[/tex]
[tex]f(-3) = |-7| -5[/tex]
Remove absolute bracket
[tex]f(-3) = 7 -5[/tex]
[tex]f(-3) = 2[/tex]
Hence, the value of f(-3) is 2.
See attachment for the graph of [tex]f(x) = |2x - 1| -5[/tex]
